Instruments: Trumpet
I started teaching when I moved to New York City for School. Teaching lessons has been very rewarding and I have seen my students grow tremendous amounts in music. I have taught all ages and have a different curriculum for different age groups. One of the main points I like to focus on is how playing music is fun and can be a tool to express ourselves. If a student isn't having fun in their lessons, then i'm not doing my job! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Trumpet
Sharing the joy of making music has been a passion of mine since my undergraduate days. I've been lucky enough to have had some of the most fulfilling students along my journey since then. I enjoy beginning students and their progression and growth and have seen some of my younger students granted music scholarships and even music degrees along the way. I've also had the pleasure of working with some of the finest adult beginners since living here in New York. Read More

I can teach many instruments that I have taught myself how to play well and efficiently. I play in many bands and I am always learning new styles of music. My best instruments are Piano, Bass, Drums, Ukulele, Guitar, Percussion, Harmonica, Recorder, Tin Whistle, Mandolin and also Trumpet. My secondary instruments are everything else. I can fool around on Violin, Cello, Banjo and Trombone as an amateur. I could blow into a Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, French Horn and probably anything else I can get my hands on, but I would not feel comfortable teaching them yet because I don't have enough time in the world to learn them and figure out how to play them myself and get as good as I can on those instruments.

Instruments: Trumpet French Horn
I have been teaching private students since 2010, and am looking forward to establishing a studio in the NYC area. I believe in helping students establish regular practice habits, with consistent warmup exercises and strong fundamentals. I also find that combining assigned music with music the student choose for themselves helps keep motivation levels high! I want my students to enjoy themselves while learning to play with proper technique, good breathing and musically sensitive interpretation. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Euphonium French Horn Music
Doctorate candidate in Music Performance, Master in Music, and MBA. I have been teaching trumpet and wind ensemble internationally over 20 years. My trumpet students have placed first in both regional and state competitions performing in both small and large ensembles. The wind ensembles I conducted also have participated in WASBE Conference, Jeju International Wind Ensemble Festival, WMC Kerkrade, and Midwest Clinic. I have studied with some of the greatest performers and teachers in the world and have also studied both Alexander Technique and Body Mapping, which has greatly improved my own perspective on the body's effect on great tone production and efficiency.

My love for teaching began as a peer tutor in college. I tutored students in piano, guitar, bass ear training, and music theory. I began to love teaching when I noticed the change and progress it creates within people. While in college, I taught at a musical theatre camp as a music teacher. I taught music theory, ear training, and vocal music. Right after I graduated college I was accepted into the music education program at Teachers College Columbia University where I received my masters degree in music education along with certification in New York state to teach Pre-K through 12.

What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My main love is classical music. It always will be. I enjoy playing jazz and blues as well but I will always favor classical music. This is why I insistent that my students learn to read music. You simply cannot accelerate the learning process without reading music. I have had adult students who think that it is too late for them to
learn to read music. That is simply incorrect. If anything it is more important for the adult to read because they can make better use of their practice time if they learn to read some simple figures.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I played clarinet since fourth grade. My brother played saxophone and since I thought that it was like the clarinet I started playing it as well. When I auditioned at college on clarinet I got in so I started playing other instruments as well. In college I got serious about playing piano. Piano is an instrument that I have a lot of experience with. I started to get serious about flute because the agents who booked weddings wanted reed players who could double on flute so they could play quietly during the cocktail hour. I learned trumpet as a band director and guitar because I taught in catholic schools for a while and they had a lot of students who wanted guitar lessons.
Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
My parents sang in school groups as students but they never really played any instruments. Because I was the oldest of four my two younger brothers and younger sister joined school bands following my lead. None of them pursued music after high school but their kids play band instruments and I try to help them out.
My one niece is in a middle school band in Georgia. And my nephew here in NJ just started playing clarinet. His little sister also plays flute and is in a music program
as well. They all came to music naturally and on their own. I never insist that anyone play an instrument unless they want to and then they should give it their all.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I gravitated out of music once and that was enough for me to realize that I have to be involved with music on a full time basis. I tried sales for a few years but I really didn't like it. I am not knocking it because I had some success for awhile with it but I just couldn't make a career of it. I was a band director in public schools for over ten years that wasn't bad but I greatly prefer being a private instructor working on my own. The whole school thing took me away from my instruments for awhile but it gave me some great training in teaching and developing lessons.
