Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Tuba

In teaching young students, I find most success in a repeat-after-me style. It is easiest for students to understand how to create something when supplied with a quality example to mimic. I teach my students the importance of musicality and expression alongside the technical aspects of playing their instrument. If a student is looking to study something particular, such as preparing a solo for a competition, I not only help them work on the piece, but I aim to supply them with successful practice methods as well.

The student's goals are my goals! Music changed the course of my life, and that was because I had teachers who guided me in the direction that I wanted to go- that's why what the student is hoping for is always my first priority. Everyone is encouraged to go and learn at their own pace; we'll discuss weekly goals each lesson, and larger goals about once every few months, to make sure that the student is achieving what they want.

I have taught lessons, throughout college and after, with interests ranging from classical to jazz, rock and pop. Engaging oneself musically every day is a motto of mine, keeping the motions and techniques sharp, as well as the elements of time and immersion that exponentially promote growth and creativity. If there is anything worth learning it is definitely anything that sounds good to you! A good basis of technique and classical styles is huge and I strongly encourage these before anything, but creativity and personal expression are important concepts to invest in. Read More
