I started teaching students privately during my undergraduate work at UNC-Greensboro in 1992 and have continued private instruction and other types of teaching, including low brass sectionals and chamber music coachings,  for over 25 years.

​

Teaching music courses at the university level is an incredibly complex profession that requires passion, patience, and understanding in the development of students into future artist-teachers of their field. I believe it is important that musicians have a fundamental understanding of the craft they are studying in terms of sound, musicianship, and breath control.

I challenge all my students to practice and to study efficiently in hopes of reaching their dreams in any field of their choice.
