Instruments: Double Bass

Decades of symphonic and chamber music experience and a love of the noble double bass! Watching a student's progress over time is one of my greatest rewards. My students are encouraged to communicate openly - their interests, goals, desires, and even their dislikes. Prior students have gone on to play professionally or remain involved in some form of music. Read More

I use a number of method books depending upon the proficiency of the student. If I am staring an elementary student from scratch who is not involved in a school band program I like to use Claude Gordon's "Physical Aproach to Elementary Brass Playing." For middle school through college level players I use the same list of materials, but introduce them in stages as the student progresses though their development. Read More

Instruments: Flute

I hope to work with students in the areas they want to focus on while also providing materials for overall musical development. If a student wants to work on one specific style, be it classical, jazz, or pop oriented music, I will show them the music, materials, and methods required for mastery in that subject. Along with this subject-specific teaching, I will also teach about the history of the flute and all styles that it might be used in. Read More
