Seeing a student transform from a beginner to a well rounded musician is one of many joys of teaching. I break my lessons into 3 segments;1) required work on fundamental 2) assigned material for overall musical development 3) music that the student has selected of his or her desired interest.

My approach to teaching is a logical one. The student needs to learn to "crawl', and then to 'walk" and then to run. With an organized succession of excersizes, the student can learn the basics of the instrument which will lead to the ability to play more fun songs.That is the goal of learning the instrument; to be able to eventually play some fun music!! The student will get an assignment written in their lesson book, and will learn that lesson for the next lesson . Read More

A steady relaxed air stream surprisingly enough is all you need to produce a tone. Read More

I teach every instrument at a beginner level but specialize in brass pedagogy and the development of brass technique.
