Hello and welcome, my name is Evan, and I am so happy that you chose to look at my profile. I received my Bachelor's Degree from Syracuse University in 1998. I minored in the Music Industry and performed with the Marching Band, Basketball Pep Band, co-founded a lacrosse band, and became a Brother of Kappa Kappa Psi, the National Honorary Band Fraternity. I received both a Masters and a Law Degree from Syracuse in 2002, but never stopped playing, and have been given the nickname of "The Human Jukebox" since I can recognize and perform nearly any song I have ever heard.

I currently hold a Bachelor's degree in Music Education from the University of Cincinnati and a Master's degree in Trumpet Performance from Western Michigan University. I love the idea of encouraging the next generation of brass players to achieve a high level of success and pushing them to push their own limits. I have performed mostly in orchestras and brass quintets though I have experience playing in many other styles. Read More

I try to keep an open mind when it comes to the individual and the way they want to learn, whether it's visually, aurally, or interactively. Then I construct a lesson plan that is designed specifically for that person. Some of the books we could be using would be: Hanon, Alban's Conservatory Method, Various classical composers' repetoire (Clementi, Mozart, etc.), Alfred Series, or only audio and no sheet music depending on what they desire to learn and get out of the lessons.

My teaching style is relaxed, encouraging, informal, and fun. I find that young people tend to pay the most attention when the person relaying the info has more of a big brother/sister relationship with the student, rather than a more rigid authoritarian approach. If they think of me as just another adult trying to make them do things they don't think are fun, then music will never be fun. Read More

Daryl began playing flute at the age of 11, as part of a middle school band class. His band instructor noticed his innate talent, and began to prepare him for studies at the Music Advancement Program at the Juilliard School. During this two year program, Daryl studied flute with Jayn Rosenfeld, played in chamber ensembles and orchestra, while also studying music history, music theory, and ear training. Daryl also made his concerto debut playing Vivaldi's "Il Gardellino" in the final year of the program. Read More
