I provide each and every student with customized curriculum to fit their goals. Some students want to be prepared for auditions at school for jazz band or orchestra, others want to work towards Districts and All State Auditions. I work to build a solid technical foundation while also fostering creative growth. I like to tap into a student's particular interests and identify the lens through which they can appreciate and love music. Read More

I am a passionate and inspired music instructor in trombone, music theory, composition, arranging and beginner level piano technique.

I will share fun and efficient ways to practice so that you get immediate results. If desired, I also guarantee you will be playing a blues and improvising within a maximum of 6 weeks as long as you practice at least 10 minutes, three times a week.  You will have the option of playing along with recordings minus your part so that you can experience the joy of ensemble playing early on in the safety of your own home. I love creating small ensemble groups of students at similar levels and arranging concerts at regular intervals.

Therefore, students can later decide whether or not they wish to pursue the certification to teach in k-12 public schools. I myself enjoyed teaching both in schools and camps. However, besides teaching, I was still not sure if there was another way that I wanted to affect positive change in education and society. Fortunately, I had a life-changing opportunity during my time at Montclair State University. I resided as president of Musicians for Diversity and Culture (M.D.C.)- an organization dedicated to using a multicultural approach in order to advance music, education, and society. Read More

Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium Tuba Music

All of my students follow more or less a similar path that deviates a bit once they have developed some. No matter the age I start all students off with building fundamentals of tone, flexibility, articulation, and range. I use a combination of exercises from David Vining, UNC's own Buddy Baker, and Emory Remington. While building fundamental playing skills I will have students begin playing etudes. Younger students will start in their band method books, but as time goes on they will transition into Rochut's Melodious etudes, and the Rubank method books. Read More

I began teaching in 2014, shortly after graduating high school. I quickly began to enjoy encouraging and mentoring aspiring musicians to keep up with their practices as well as the love for music. I have a wide variety of teaching experiences such as teaching private lessons in home/studios, as well as instructing entire orchestras and wind ensembles. I've also found that a combination of classical and fundamental practices, as well as contemporary music, can go a long way in solidifying comfort ability on the instrument. Read More

I feel that it is best not to use the cookie cutter approach to teaching music. Each student is unique in their own way and is able to learn and apply musical concepts differently; therefore I take a careful and studious approach to make sure that my students have the best advantage by creating a custom lesson plan specific to their learning pace. I do my best to make it fun and engaging while increasing their ability and knowledge of music as it applies to their instrument. Read More
