Music is my gift. I am blessed with a natural ability which I have dedicated my life to learn, cultivate and nurture. To share this through teaching is rewarding. I teach students of all ages and levels. We have two recitals per year, which are unique and fun because of our wide variety of instruments and our group songs. My introductory lesson is full of information to build a foundation on which further knowledge can stand. Read More

My teaching experience reaches back to my college days. Whether teaching private lessons to individual students, giving feedback to fellow students, or teaching large groups, I have both private and professional experience teaching. Through varied methods based upon each student's individual needs, I target the areas of each student's playing that most needs improvement. By tailoring each lesson to the individual student, I encourage my students to succeed at their own pace and with maximum results. Read More

I customize my curriculum to the needs of the student and the things they would like to learn. From basic note and chords to substitutions and harmony. Within that I always give an understanding of basic music theory in a practical way that the student can apply to their playing. . For those who want to go deeper in music I teach advanced concepts, improvisation and song writing. For beginning students I mix basic chords and melody to help them play songs that they can enjoy.

For students between the ages of 3 and 7, I typically use either the Little Mozarts method or the Birds and Dogs method. For students who are older, I use a combination of methods, including Alfred's, Bastien and Faber. I have also designed and used my own curriculum for students with special needs, including students who have autism, cerebral palsy, nerve damage, ADHD and for gifted students. I incorporate classical music including Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Kabalevsky and many others for more advanced students, and especially for students who are competing. Read More

I came to a life in music through the music of my neighborhood, church and public education. My first experience with a Brass instrument (after displaying a woeful lack of aptitude for the clarinet,) was with the Trombone. Unfortunately my arms weren't long enough to get the slide to the lowest positions on the slide, so my teacher gave me cornet to try, a day or so later I could get a consistent sound. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet French Horn

Truly enjoy seeing students seeing students get it, musically and become successful. I teach as if I am training my replacement so I can attend a concert and hear them play; specially when I am too old to play but can still hear a good concert. I have played with many groups in the United States (including Hawaii and Alaska), Central America, Jordan, much of Europe (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, England, Scotland).
