I believe making music fun can keep students motivated and improve their skills. When you love music, you are more motivated to improve. I also believe music is based on a lot of techniques.

I encourage my students, but insist that they need to learn something new every lesson so they can get closer to their goals. Read More

Everything we talk about carries over past the art of playing the trumpet. For example, learning how to be a team player, creativity, and the reward of daily practice teaches the student about success in many different contexts.

I do try to find out what inspires each student, be it types of music or anything in the outside world. Read More
