My experiences as a teacher have been vital to my growth as a musician and a person for the past few years.  Upon my start of graduate school, I began teaching in the place of a local New Jersey trumpeter who was busy out of the country.  Each student had their own unique personality and skills, ranging in age from 9 to 17.  This opportunity also allowed me to work with special needs students.

I find music has two important aspects to emphasize, reading and understanding music theory on sight, and hearing and interpreting music. For reading and music theory at it's most basic level I use books like Arban's method. This book contains scales and patterns that are easy to digest for someone learning to read music while also building up the intricate brass technique needed for all brass instruments. For hearing and interpreting I use simple excercises to start like having a student play back a simple line I play to them or have them identify what kind of scale it chord I just played. Read More

I love to teach. I love sharing the knowledge and experience that I've accumulated over the years as a Musician. For me the best part is opening my students eyes to the possibilities music has to offer. Its very rewarding to see them grow and not only achieve the goals we set together but to become continually curious about music and life. I love to encourage my students yet I also am not afraid to let them know when they're veered off of the path. Read More

My experience in teaching starts from me being an instructor for the chamber ensemble back in college. I became an instructor when the director came to me and asked if I was interested in becoming a music instructor. I always encouraged my students to practice everyday. By practicing every day then student will notice that they are progressing. If a student isn't progressing then I'm not doing my job. I encourage my students to enter any competition or recitals.
