I bring a wealth of hands on experience in many settings as well as a background in music education at an academic level to my lessons and interactions with students.

My teaching experience includes serving as a middle school band director, high school band director, middle school choir director, high school choir director, elementary school general music and choir teacher, and elementary school clarinet teacher.
