About
I have been a successful instructor of woodwinds (Flute, Saxophone, and Clarinet) as well as all Guitars for 35 years. I have mentored many students, some of which have become teachers themselves or pursued professional performance careers in music. I provide individual, tailored instruction to each student based on their needs and goals. At this time I teach at Willis Music W. Chester on Cox Rd. I also own and operate Gemini Music Studio in Middletown. I can be reached at 513-607-4071, text or voice. I take a professional approach to teaching, but am very fun to work with. After all, we are making music, which is a joy.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I teach one on one with my students and tailor the lessons to each student's needs and goals, as well as presenting material that encourages music literacy and essential skills.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied music at theUniversity of Cincinnati and at Marin College in California. I have also studied with great performing musicians and mentors. I am multi-instrumental and teach several instruments (All styles of Guitar, Saxophone, Flute, and Clarinet) as well as theory and harmony and improvisation.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My students pay for lessons on the first lesson of each month in advance for the month. I charge $95.00 per month. This includes lessons per month. Standard lessons are 1/2 hour in duration, but 1 hour lessons are also available.
How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching 30 years ago in music stores. As I continued teaching, I realized that I wanted to open my own Studio without any retail operation included. This has been very successful and the focus is on music education and having fun making music. Gemini Music Studio is a member in good standing with the Better Business Bureau. I have been in business in Middletown since 1991. I began teaching in 1980.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with student's of all ages and skill levels from beginners to professional musicians. Kids and adult students are equally welcome to study.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Any student intending to study with a private teacher should seek out a serious instructor with years of successful experience.
