I have a firm grasp on playing and teaching Classical, Jazz(including improvisation), and more commercial styles of music. As music is my personal passion, I aim to get my students to share that passion with me and enjoy making music as much as I do! I want to help students reach their personal goals, and maybe even help them put in auditions for various competitions or joining their own district and even state bands, both Classical and Jazz.

I began teaching privately in college in 2000. Since then I have maintained a studio of students in my home and in their homes.
