I teach the way that I do because I want my students to have the confidence that I often lacked growing up and because I want them to know all the things I wish Id known when I was their age.

I graduated from High School in 2002, and I've taught on and off since then.

My teaching style is meant to cater to each students specific needs but above all else is having an understanding of what a brass musician should sound like.

While I am flexible in this regard, I do have specific practice assignments and repetition exercises that are the work of learning an instrument. Read More
