I have had the pleasure of teaching for the past 5 years publicly and privately. I have lead masterclasses and group lessons as well as private lessons and large ensembles. I teach my students the fundamentals of the instrument heavily as it helps provide the foundation for all musical concepts. I. have had the pleasure of performing with Symphonic Bands, Orchestras, Jazz Bands, and combos during my time at school helping me to demonstrate and teach various styles. I have been fortunate enough to perform with the country band Lady A (formerly Lady Antebellum), DJ GRiZ, at the world series (where my arrangements were performed), and at Busch Gardens as Performer. I hope to use these experiences and knowledge to help prepare all of my students to become the best musician that they can be.
