I started teaching music classes in 1992. As a public school music teacher, I have taught students in grades 1-12. I taught concert band, jazz band, marching band, string orchestra, full orchestra, and general music. I have conducted a women's chorale and taught college as well. For 7 years, I trained music education students and supervised their teaching experiences. I mentored music teachers for the University of New Orleans, Saint Cloud State University, and Artist Corps New Orleans. Read More

My teaching style would probably be classified as Classical. I do teach music reading as a foundation of most of my instruction, however I also work with students who learn better by rote.

I have spent the last 5 years studying to become a great teacher! In December of 2017 I finished my degree in Music Education at Brigham Young University- Idaho, and in August I begin my Masters Degree in String Pedagogy at the University of New Mexico. I am very passionate about being sure my students gain skills through music education that will stay with them beyond what they study with me. My students walk away with skills like perseverance, appreciation for art and culture, dedication, confidence through struggle, and a healthy growth mindset. Read More

I am a motivated teacher who delights in seeing his students improve! I started playing violin at 6 years old. I started teaching when I was in High School, with one student. She progressed very fast so I figured after finishing my degree at Central Washington University, that I should continue teaching. I taught for six months with Lessons In Your Home-Seattle and it was a great experience, but I relocated to New Mexico to pursue a M.M. in Music at the University of New Mexico. Read More

From my jazz training I help students improvise and create their own artistry. From my classical training I help students to learn to sight read, interpret the page correctly, play with a clean sound and play well in an ensemble.
