Taught and performed for for 30 years... But seeing and hearing is believing, I've posted a video of me playing ajazz demonstration of a Hubert Laws composition.. This was part of my therapy after open heart surgery and a mini stroke.. Some doctors believe as a musician the use of both sides of my brain may have contributed to a speedy recovery..I believe my 7th cranial nerve damage, completely paralyzing the left side of my face, was healed by the Grace of God, first, and the gift He gave me called Music.

Instruments: Trumpet French Horn

I began teaching private French horn students in 2011, and I have been teaching music in various ways since then. I have been both a general music and a band teacher, working with students in Preschool through Eighth Grade. With my private students I emphasize regular practice as the best way to improve and keep having fun with an instrument. I also seek out opportunities for my students to perform and attend concerts that may widen their musical horizons. Read More

Instruments: Guitar

I try to be as laid-back and disarming as possible. Ultimately, playing music is supposed to be fun and so I never want to stop communicating that to students of any age. I have a lot of students who have been with me for years and I believe that speaks to my ability to connect with them on a musical and personal level and make lessons fun but always productive.

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Tuba

Reading music is emphasized in school ensembles, yet some students are reluctant to read music. I can accommodate students who'd rather learn exclusively by the aural tradition. When my student is eager to read I like to start with the Walter Beeler Method Book One.  I supplement it with duets.  Some students can work from the Rubank Supplementary Studies along with the Walter Beeler.  Afterwards the Edwards-Hovey Method Book Two is very nice.

Instruments: Piano

Generally speaking, music is not necessary, but it is essential to have fun learning it!  Regardless of a student's reason for taking lessons, I believe in giving all students an equally high level of opportunity and guidance, and I take responsibility for ensuring they grow as a well-rounded musician.  As long as realistic goals are set, a regular practice routine can be established.  As a teacher, I enjoy seeing students develop a love for learning music.
