From my years of experience both as a musician and as a teacher, communication and trust are the key components to a successful lesson.

I will go over a foundation of basics for every student, teaching them how to practice and setting them up for success. Read More

Regardless of their ability, though, I always duet with my students to make them feel less pressure during lessons. Read More

My approach is repertoire-based, meaning that we learn technique through the demands of particular pieces; I also teach strength-training exercises to help students develop their fullest potential on trumpet. Deriving inspiration from both classical and jazz methods, I also believe in exploring the physical capabilities and limitations of the instrument so that the player can develop a personal relationship to it. Indeed, this relationship forms the crux of true musical expression, which is the overarching goal of my teaching. Read More
