lp, and even chop rebuilds. I am familiar and have taught nearly all of the major pedagogical trumpet methods including Arban, Schlossberg, Stamp, Thompson, Franquin, Caruso, and of course, CIarke. I went through a major embouchure change in 2009 and have come from barely being able to play, to playing with professional groups and making a living as a trumpet player.

As your teacher and guide, I will commit to seeing you succeed and provide you with the necessary tools to do so.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND APPROACH
"I love teaching all ages of singers 13 and older. I focus on developing a strong foundation of technique that can be applied to all genres of music. I also help students prepare for performances helping them to communicate their creativity and musicality."
