Instruments: Trumpet, Trombone, Saxophone, Clarinet, French Horn

I have taught clarinet and trumpet lessons since 1977. I have taught saxophone, french horn and trombone since 1979. I have had two students make first chair in All-State competition, and many Solo and Ensemble Award winners.

Learning needs to be fun, pure and simple. Gone are the days of the dictatorial martinet. The main purpose of music lessons is so that people can learn to enjoy playing their instrument. "Nothing succeeds like success": this is as true in music as it is anywhere else. Students have a need to express themselves musically, and it is the job of the teacher to show the student how that may be done. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Recorder, Piccolo

For students of all ages, I like to lead with the quote from Marcel Moyse; "Practicing is a matter a time, patience and intelligent work", for I believe that once this is applied to the idea of practicing and general encounters with ones instrument, then success and progress is guaranteed. Aside from that principle, I like the idea of independent work from students to keep them accountable on the journey to becoming a musician but a more interactive and demonstrative approach during the lesson to give students an idea of what needs to be done while being that good role model so that they may keep motivated work hard at becoming the best possible musicians.

Instruments: Saxophone, Clarinet, Recorder

I started teaching private lessons my senior year in high school. Once I went to music school, i started to refine my teaching technique, and have been teaching privately for the past 25 years. Regularity and time management is key to my student's success. I like to draw on classical repertoire outside of the standard clarinet and saxophone repertoire to allow my students a well rounded classical experience. Students who want to focus on jazz studies can also learn a great deal from studying baroque music and ornamentation, and I like to offer a broad perspective to people eager to learn. Read More

Instruments: Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Recorder

I began teaching music lessons at the end of my studies at university. What began as a few saxophone students has grown, making private lessons an integral part of my work and affording me the chance to share my love of music on several other instruments including clarinet, flute, and piano. I regularly teach lessons at student's homes or in my home-studio. I also work as a studio teacher at Mark Murphy's Music, a private music school in the metro area. Read More
