Take lessons with a experienced teacher that actively performs and teaches. What makes me a good teacher is the fact that I struggled during the first few years that I started playing. I had a work through those struggles in order to become the musician I am today, so I know how to break things down and to cater lessons to each individual student. There is no cookie cutter method for all, we each have our own issues to work on. Some naturally gifted teachers will just tell you to play something and make it work...but since I had to work hard to become successful, I can use what I learned to help you to achieve success. I will help you to build a strong fundamental base and to turn your weaknesses into strengths! Whether you are preparing for school band or ensemble, for honor band auditions, college auditions, or solo and ensemble festivals, I would be happy to help you to become the musician that you want to become.

I am an experienced trumpet teacher who has had the privilege to study with some of the foremost trumpet instructors including Charlie Geyer and Barbara Butler while at Northwestern University.
I focus on 5 primary areas in my lessons to provide the student with a solid core for lifelong growth through music:
1. I help players develop an efficient playing style that focuses on proper breathing, breath control, body positioning, embouchure, tongue positioning, and air flow.
2. I help players develop excellent technique and help players develop multiple approaches to handling technical passages.
3. I help players understand and develop musical concepts and an approach to their own sound.
4. I help players prepare for auditions at all levels, up to professional auditions.
5. Last, I help players understand how to teach themselves to be better so that they can continue to grow musically throughout their lives.
