I began teaching private lessons when starting college, and have maintained a studio of various woodwind students of various ages since 2011. In the time between then, I have been involved as a private instructor, small chamber coach, full band director, and covered any other position possible for many schools; I have ample experience in teaching and performing many styles common in the school system. My experience has led me to find ways to work with students as individuals, and adapt to their wants and needs to keep them engaged in the learning process. Read More

In the Fall of 2021, I was the Saxophone and Clarinet Instructor for Northeastern High School marching band season and the Saxophone Instructor for Stebbins High School band camp. Read More
