SHARING IN THE JOY THAT MUSIC HAS TO OFFER…

Musicians are lifetime learners. We’re ambitious, reflective, eager to grow, and learn through the experiences of others. By the same token, there is a responsibility that we as musicians choose to accept in sharing this gift of music.

I’ve taught in a number of settings ranging from classrooms to clinics to individual lessons. My experience includes instruction for jazz programs, wind ensembles, marching percussion, and drum workshops.

As an educator, I strive to share my experience and knowledge of contemporary music with the next generation, and hope that each of my students can expand on their passion for music.
