Music is something that can bring two completely different people together. You may see the world entirely different from someone else, but can be bonded by the power of music.

Each and every student will respond differently to instruction, and I am proud to say that I am extremely adaptable. I want to make sure that I am communicating with each individual in a way that they will understand and be successful with, because the student is the most important variable. I use a wide variety of pop culture, classical influence, and I make sure to provide my students with opportunities to challenge themselves and grow in many ways, including encouraging them to participate in live performaces, competitions, and composition.

I am passionate about continuing the education of music in our society. In spring 2014 I graduated from Berklee College of Music with a BM.

Students will find that I am a delightful person to be with. The joy of teaching, for me, is watching students grow in their abilities. Read More
