Howdy! I am a licensed music educator in Ohio, where I have taught music for now 6 years! I am currently a middle school band teacher so I have lots of great tips and tricks for beginner students as well as more advanced advice for students looking for a challenge on just about every instrument. My philosophy of teaching is simple: let’s have FUN. Music at its core is supposed to be enjoyable, so I strive to make every lesson engaging and dynamic and full of the magic that lives in the spirit of music. Once we find that magic together, I promise your musicianship will soar!
