I am willing to meet them wherever they are musically. I think it is important for the student to work on a variety of styles and pieces at any given time at their level, so they have a diverse musical palette. Read More

My teaching experience began at age eighteen, when I started teaching private lessons part time until I figured out what I wanted to do with my life.

I've performed at weddings, graduations, multiple dinner dates and church functions. I was the Minister of Music at Sixth Street Baptist Church from 2016-2018. Read More

Instruments: Piano Voice Trumpet Trombone Recorder Euphonium

I began teaching trumpet privately 44 years ago. Over the years I have added voice, beginning piano, trombone, euphonium,and recorder to my studio.

I find that some students like to practice in one sitting, whereas others prefer to practice for 10-15 minutes before taking a break and then returning. I convey to each student that working at your craft for 10,000 hours will make you an expert. Read More
