Styles: Classical, Musical Theater

I began teaching in my early university days, and since then I've gained experience in numerous different teaching environments. I have taught privately with young beginners, high school aged students, and adults. I have also been called upon many times as a coach for trumpet sections at middle schools, high schools, and have led university ensemble brass sectionals on multiple occasions. I've worked with students from all experience levels, including those who are starting out and those who are getting back into music as adults after a long absence.

I try to customize lessons to each specific student, based on not just their experience level but also what kind of interests they have and what kind of music they want to play. Fundamentally I teach from several major instructions books like the Arban method, Schlossberg method, Clarke studies, Charlier studies, and Jacobs. I introduce solo repertoire and orchestral repertoire based on the student's level and interest in the material. I can tailor lessons from the basic fundamentals to university audition preparation.
