Hi there! I am a professional classical saxophonist in the Washington D.C. area with over 20 years of teaching experience! I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree from Peabody Conservatory and I am also Suzuki certified on the first level. I can teach students from 8 years old and up through adulthood and my favorite thing is to spark a passion in classical music for young saxophonists. The saxophone DOES have a place in the classical world and it is just and amazing there as jazz! Take lessons with me and I'll prove it to you!

I’ve been teaching over 30 years. I teach 11 instruments. I can come to your home or you can come to my studio in great falls, VA. I make lessons fun!

I give lessons on multiple instruments for classical and jazz saxophone, flute, clarinet, and piano theory and chord structures. Also performance techniques and strategies to become and better performer and teacher. Music is my life! Wouldn't know life without it!
