Overview:

I have been playing the trumpet for over 20 years and enjoy spreading my love of music. I graduated from SUNY Fredonia in 2007 with a degree in Music Education and from Western Michigan University in 2009 with a Master's of Music in Trumpet Performance. After graduation from WMU, I taught in various school districts around New York as a substitute teacher and music teacher. I have performed with various orchestras such as the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra and the Western New York Chamber Orchestra. In 2011, I joined the 42nd Infantry Division Band, New York Army National Guard, U.S. Army. In 2014, I began an active duty contract with the 1st Cavalry Division Band, U.S. Army, Fort Hood, Texas. I recently moved back to upstate New York and continue to play and teach.

EXPERIENCE

Since returning to New York, I have begun to build my private studio. I focus on best practices in regards to improving the fundamentals of playing and building the strength need to be a successful musician. I always try to vary my instruction to fit the individual needs of each student. I will encourage all of my students to play as much as possible and to volunteer for festivals and extra-curricular performance opportunities. I have been teaching music since high school and love inspiring students with the same passion for music that I have had for a very long time.

METHODS USED

I began leaning in the Walter Beeler method when I was in fourth grade. I have been exposed to various different methodologies to teaching brass instruments. I would tailor my instruction to give each student the best opportunity to be successful. I will focus on exercises such as lip slurs, long tones and technique, all while trying to throw interesting musical tunes in to keep the student guessing and interested. I always try to keep my lessons fun and motivating. I will work on music brought to me by the student, as well as assign music to work on each week.

LESSON STYLE

My teaching style is one of stern motivation. I expect that each student will take the personal pride to prepare for each lesson by practicing the required amount and the assigned music. I can expect this because despite having a full-time job, I still find the time to practice and prepare for all of my lessons and performances. I also want my students to be successful and be proud of the performances that they are a part of. If your student is auditioning for music school, I will ensure that your student is prepared and happy with the results of their auditions.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
