I am pleased to announce that at this time, I will now begin offering online lessons. I have been preparing for this for quite some time and I am excited that the time is finally here.

​

I will begin offering lessons in trumpet technique and jazz. Although all are welcome to take lessons with me, I am especially excited to offer my services to beginners of all ages and students who have had difficulty learning with other teachers. After many years of studying the trumpet with a variety of teachers as well as teaching lessons, I believe I have created a method of teaching that utilizes problem solving skills and deductive reasoning, to not only get to the bottom of the challenges faced by a student, but also help them to learn to solve problems in their own practicing, improving their rate of personal growth and minimizing their dependency on a teacher.

​

By utilizing a variety of skills learned in private lessons, lectures, and masterclasses by great performers and pedagogues, tried and tested over many years of my performing career, students will find we can work together to make lessons tailored to their individual needs, encouraging the most productive practice geared toward rapid growth. Lessons are affordable, flexible, and low stress to promote maximum growth and accessibility. It is my belief that everyone is capable of improvement on the trumpet if they desire.

​

​Some of the areas I am most passionate about teaching, and including some unusual areas of insight include:

• Developing an Embouchure

• Reducing Tension and Unnecessary Pressure

• Artistic Expression

• Dealing with Stress and Performance Anxiety

• Maximizing Practice Time Investment Return

• Understanding Jazz Harmony from the Beginning

• Developing an Improvised Solo

• Performing with a Disability
