Instruments: Saxophone Flute Clarinet

Before attending the University of North Texas I was a band director, jazz band director, chorus director, free lance performer and cruise ship musician.

My teaching and performing specialty is woodwinds, namely saxophone, flute and clarinet in both classical and jazz genres. I am a versatile performer and instructor having won international classical concerto competitions, toured with party bands and performed with professional jazz orchestras. Read More

At that point I also had a small private studio. Read More
