Experience Summary
I began tutoring others at the age of 16. After many years of district honor, all state, and college honor bands, I continued with my music education in college, branching out into other instruments, musical genres, and different ensemble types. I also took various lessons with several different teachers on the same instruments to truly get a well rounded experience, while continuing to teach others. After college, I still continue to play and perform with various community and private organizations.
Teaching Style
I prefer long tone studies, followed by a chosen etude reflecting the desired skill currently being sought, then application via a prepared solo piece. Generally, success in this area deserves a fun reward, so then I may next "mix it up" a little with a duet or a piece from a different genre.
My Hobbies
Music, obviously! I am also a voracious reader and gamer.
