Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Music Keyboard
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I started out on clarinet. The way that they are made and the way that they are never seem to amaze me. Though I play piano a lot now, I really think that there is a lot to be learned from playing wind instruments. I think that there is carry over from instrument to instrument. I think that even applies to brass and woodwind instruments in the respect that they all horns of some kind. There is a relationship between any two instruments regardless of what they are. I think that finding those relationships and making them work is really where it is at.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I would list my accomplishments according to what I have learned rather than by any awards or accolades that I have received. The first thing that I am very happy to have done is to play woodwinds well enough to teach and perform at a high level.
The next most significant accomplishment is the development of my own jazz theory course that is designed to simplify techniques and to get students to improvise quickly and effectively by focusing on motifs first and larger phrases second. These thing have made me a more effective teacher.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I have had several students audition for and get into good college music programs.
I have had several students audition for good high school groups and get into them as well.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
On wind instruments the hardest things to master are holding the instrument properly and developing a good embouchure. The three most important things on a wind instrument are tone production, articulation, phrasing and musicality. After that reading music is something that all musicians should strive to improve. The faster someone can identify and play musical passages the better. Whether someone is playing classical or jazz they need to completely understand the passages that they are playing from numerous angles.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I like Klose, Rose and Baermann studies for clarinet and Klose and Lazurus for duets. For flute I like Anderson studies and duets by Quantz, Mozart and Beethoven. For saxophone I like studies by Larry Teal as well as Marcel Mule and Sigurd Rascher. For piano students I like my students to play Haydn's first sonata in C major and then eventually Mozart's piano sonata #7 also in C major.
All students have the opportunity to take my extensive course of study in jazz improvisation if they choose to. All students are encouraged to select music for themselves and to practice those pieces every day.
