Are you a trumpet player?  

In private lessons, I listen to you play your trumpet and you listen to me. We work on fundamentals, technique and music. I diagnose and prescribe specific strategies and practice techniques, unique and specific to you, to help you improve and reach your musical goals. I work with students of all ages and ability levels from beginner through professional.

Are you a band director? 

For more than 26 years, I have obsessively thought through and tweaked concepts and techniques for teaching all things Middle School Band.  I can save you time and frustration in the following areas: embouchure, tone production, tonguing and articulation, rhythm, pulse, subdivision and coordination, note reading and technique;  large ensemble methods and techniques, sectional methods and techniques, and instrument selection (in person and online).  I can also share time-saving methods and concepts for repertoire selection, score study, concert preparation, fundraising and recruiting.
