About
I'd love to help you reach your goals on the horn!
As part of my doctoral studies in horn performance I am creating and studying different teaching methods for all levels.
I've been teaching for over 10 years and I have a degree in psychology including classes in performance and teaching techniques.
My favorite part about teaching is learning the unique needs of each student and providing them with the teaching style and method that will help them most succeed.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to start off with a free "getting to know you" session so I can learn your goals and see if we would be a good fit!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I'm currently finishing a doctorate degree at Stony Brook University in order to teach collegiately.
I have an undergraduate dual-degree in music and psychology.
Classes during a Performance Certificate program at the Manhattan School of music in Teaching Techniques.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing depends on student level and time. Discounts for those who sign up monthly!
What types of students have you worked with?
Elementary to seniors! But I've spent the most time with high school/undergraduate level students and group elementary classes.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you have a goal in mind, look for a teacher that is prominent in that area of expertise! I would also look for someone with degrees toward education because playing well and being a good teacher don't always go hand in hand.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are some of your goals for your lessons?
How much time are you willing to put in per week?
