My teaching style is to motivate students through fun while building a passion for music. I set expectations for each student and make sure they are a better musician today than they were yesterday. I enjoy finding new and exciting methods to teach any student. Nothing is more rewarding to me than helping a student get that important audition, scholarship, or honor. I always determine what inspires my students and coach them to success every time. Read More

Students of all ages will work out of a technique/method book. Younger students will use Walter Beeler's Method for Cornet/Trumpet, more advanced students will play from Arban's. I emphasize a "classical" approach, especially with younger students to solidify their skills, encouraging intersted students to begin including jazz improvisation into their studies as their skills advance. We work on tone production, helping the student improve in this area through attention to breathing, embouchure, articulation, long tones, lip flexibilities, scales, etc. Read More

My training has always been performance-focused, but I'm a believer that you cannot teach what you don't know how to do yourself. I've spent lots of time absorbing information about all different aspects of performing and composing, and because of that I'm now in a great position to share what's worked for me, and what else could work for people of different learning styles. I've premiered multiple pieces, and have more premieres lined up for later this year. Read More
