I strongly believe in having an open and honest relationship with my student. I think both should know upfront what the expectations should be, such as how long they will practice, what proper progress and growth looks like, as well as what they need from me to help them succeed.

During this period I also started to work with media as the producer of classical music programs for radio and television. Read More

I started teaching in high school. At Santa Monica High School, we had a huge music program. With 6 orchestras in making up the music program, I was placed in the orchestra made up of the most advanced players.

I have been working in National Parks for the past 3 years and have always brought my instruments with me. Read More
