While in the AF, though, I've been blessed to have several part-time college teaching jobs. I taught saxophone, sax quartet and clarinet for five years at Adams State University in Colorado. For five of my six years in Illinois, I taught saxophone and sax quartet at McKendree University. I've always maintained a private studio of students ranging in age from 8 to 80+. I love teaching all skill levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced students all give me unique challenges as a teacher that I always welcome. Read More

My methods would slightly vary on what goals the student is trying to achieve. However, all musicians must have a basic grasp of technique and fundamental skills in order to express music the way they would like to.

After a routine has been established for warm ups and extension, I like to incorporate those skills into songs, pieces, or repertoire. Read More

Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Saxophone Clarinet

I have a great breadth and depth of experience with instrumental music education. Clarinet has been my primary performance instrument, but I have found over the years that the techniques that I use to teach clarinet are easily and successfully transferable to the other instruments that I teach. Besides the clarinet, I also teach saxophone, guitar, violin and piano throughout the Colorado Springs area. Of course the differences have to do with embouchere, fingerings (which are similar to the clarinet), and tone production. Read More

I take the time to dialogue with my students allowing them describe their vision and their desired goal. I then tailor a curriculum that best fits the student's learning style at an appropriate skill level geared toward achieving that goal successfully. Each one is encouraged to go at their own pace. Accomplishments are acknowledged and celebrated. For school age children, I've designed a colorful weekly practice assignment as guide for their practice times as an expression to show how much they accomplished in their studies. Read More
