About
I take my role as a teacher seriously, and take the time to get to know my students as individuals. No two students are alike so I create a unique approach to each person development. I
My favorite part about being a teacher is watching a students eyes light up as they learn something new. Music is a universal form of communication and for me the most important part of teaching is communication. Understanding who my students are and what they want out of music is as important to me as imparting technical musical knowledge.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have a student who I took over his lessons, and within two months has already started to be able to double tongue and is beginning to develop his vibrato. His hard work and dedication paid off in such a short time.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You want someone who you feel a personal connection with, not just who has the most extensive resume.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do you want to get out of lessons? Do want to go to school for music, make it into all-state orchestra or band, or just learn for your own enjoyment. Be upfront about your goals with your teacher.
