My Philosophy: I firmly believe that music possesses the ability to change lives for the better. Music has certainly changed my life and molded me into the man that I am today. As a former C-average high school student, one might be surprised to learn that I received my BA in Music Instruction and graduated with honors. So what happened between high school and college? My passion for music inspired me to go back to school and taught me the many virtues that define who I am today. Read More
Instruments: Voice, Trumpet, Trombone, Bass Guitar, Double Bass
I begin with asking "What do you want to get from these lessons?" and start from there. I have a number a resources (books, videos, recordings, experience) to proceed through the various paths that one may chose. I try to think of music as a language. You are not born speaking english, just as your not born playing music. We learn our language by immersing ourselvesin it and pick it up as we go. Read More

Many students find themselves in a hard spot because many teachers are driving and insist on PERFECTION. This can often lead many students to feel uninspired or that music is all work and no play. I have never felt this way about music. Students can motivate themselves to play music and practice and a find their own materials if they are truly ENJOYING what they are doing. It can be as simple as a basic two chord groove! Read More

Over the years, I have taught private lessons for kids and adults, and held clinics and masterclasses at public schools in Portland and Eugene. After almost 15 years of teaching, I can affirm that no two people learn the same! Therefore, my teaching style is 100% student focused. I offer a wealth of material in all genres, so I can understand what kind of music the student really loves, and then go from there. Read More

My philosophy for quality music education has three main parts: appreciation, practice, literacy. I braid all three of these parts into each lesson, with a student focused approach. I strongly believe that anyone at any age and abilities can learn enjoy making music. Fundamentals are important at all skill levels, as well as a mix of solo rep and working on full pieces I have the skills to be able to create any music my students want to do! Read More
