You’re in just the right spot, friend!
That’s where I come into the picture.

I help give you the pedagogical tools to improve your technique and performance, while adding musical concepts and nuances. With my experiences in different aspects of music education, I have helped students throughout my career get selected principal chairs in school placement and honor band auditions, win brass competitions and receive admittance to some of the top music programs in the country.
