Private lessons will focus on advancing fundamental aspects of playing your brass instrument, provide exercises and techniques to advance your practice at home, give pointers and guidance on preparing for performances and sharing information about equipment. I will also provide helpful resources that all musicians should have access to.

Apart from one-on-one lessons, I also provide coaching for larger groups like brass quintets and ensembles.

I have experience performing with and rehearsing chamber groups, adjudicating in Solo and Ensemble, leading sectionals in band classes, and have also worked with marching bands in high schools.
If you think your band could benefit from guidance, I recommend sharing my email with your band director (or sending me their contact information) so I can connect with them!

Why I Teach Music

Music is a fantastic catalyst to learn about many different skills, values and qualities that assist in every facet of life. I encourage you to chase excellence no matter what path, instrument, career or topic you choose to pursue. Everyone is capable of great things, especially when we find our calling. I hope I can provide you some value that extends beyond the practice room, it is my goal to have every lesson be a resource for tools and techniques that empower you to progress. Above all, find joy in what you do and never give up on your dreams.
