My experience in teaching private lessons goes back to high school when my band director prompted the All-District and All-State band members to give lessons to our sections after school, which allowed me to immediately transition into giving private lessons as a college student. I have given music lessons at Mason's School of Music in Tallahassee, provided lessons as a self-employed contractor, as well as having served as a trumpet /trombone instructor with the Goodwill Band in Tallahassee.

During my Master's at Florida State University, I received a teaching assistantship, and feel that I gained a lot of insight into teaching and grew a lot during my time there. I have learned to be very careful with young singers, as a lot of damage can be done if they are with a teacher that tries to push them too hard or give them inappropriate repertoire. Read More
