I am an educator who is in love with music and my instrument, and I enjoy fostering in my students an excitement about music.

I have played in several bands over the years, both playing covers and original music, and I have experience with studio work. Read More

Whether it's classical voice, jazz improvisation, or songwriting, I adapt my approach to meet the specific needs and preferences of each student. Holistic Development: I prioritize the holistic development of my students, focusing not only on technical proficiency but also on musical expression, creativity, and critical thinking. I integrate elements of music theory, ear training, improvisation, and performance skills to provide a well-rounded musical education. Positive Reinforcement: Encouragement and positivity are central to my teaching philosophy. Read More

For younger students, I always want to make sure our lessons stay fun, while encouraging growth at the same time, so I usually let them pick a song they like, and then I assign another to assist with their musical development. For older students and adults, we really dive into technique and vocal health, with a strong emphasis on technicalities like breath support and placement, and then use that foundation to branch out into multiple genres.

Instruments: Saxophone

Yet I am still a professional musician. What I am saying is that you can be successful in learning to be a musician if you have attention issues. As a middle-aged adult I have (just a few years ago) been diagnosed with ADHD, which explains my entire life of practicing music! I am not a psychologist, but I know how it feels and I have studied enough teaching and psychology to understand that things like this are not a permanent barrier to being a musician, even a great musician.

Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet Oboe Bassoon English Horn

My teaching experience started 5 years ago. I was a senior in high school and was teaching a beginning student the trombone. Throughout the past 5 years I have continued to teach students when I was able to. I encourage regular practice and maintaining a consistent schedule. I always say 10 minutes a day is better then 30 minutes every 3 days. For younger students a combination or aural learning and written learning are great ways to help them engage and keep an interest. Read More
