I started playing saxophone at age 7. I heard the Beatles, and I flipped; soon I learned every song from a Lennon/McCartney songbook. When I was 14, I discovered the joy of jazz improvisation, and once I heard John Coltrane, I knew that I wanted to dedicate my life to music! I attended Oberlin College, where I studied Jazz and Classical saxophone. In between semesters, I was fortunate to study in New York with Bobby Watson, and in Philadelphia with the legendary Odean Pope, with whom I took a class as well as studied privately. After graduating college, I started to teach and play music professionally. Currently, I play with the West Philadelphia Orchestra, the city's hardest working Balkan Brass band. I also have many original music projects of my own which explore the possibilities of amplified saxophone.

I am an award winning, pi kappa lambda honoree, summa cum laude graduate of Syracuse University's school of Visual and Performing Arts-Setnor School of Music, where I received a four-year music director's talent scholarship.

I am classically trained and perform all styles of music, from classical to jazz to pop. I play saxophone, flute, clarinet, and piano. I perform professionally with a large Philadelphia based entertainment company, as well as will local bands in the Philadelphia area.

I teach piano, saxophone, flute, and clarinet to all ages and skill levels. I enjoy working with students who just want to play for fun, as well as those who are looking to compete in local competitions. I have been involved in County, District, Regional, and All-States bands, concerto/jazz competitions, music composition contests.

I love teaching music, and I look forward to lessons with you!

I've been playing and loving music for well more than half a century, now. I got started in second grade when my grandpa brought home a little violin one day, and I've been at it ever since. I was fortunate to take lessons for more than ten years with Carita Page, a teacher who was very warm, encouraging, and caring. I do my best to pass that on to my students in addition to the technique of playing and the theory of music, fascinating as those are.

I feel that playing in groups is very valuable experience for students and gives you a side of music that private lessons alone cannot. I encourage students to look for opportunities to do that. To help provide those opportunities I organized the Cranbury Scout Band, one of very few continuously-operating Scout bands in the country, which I have directed for more that ten years now. I've also been on the staff of several Jamboree Scout bands.
