I love teaching and I love working with kids. I feel that even for students who won’t play past their school-age days, learning to play an instrument gives them appreciation for music that can enrich their lives for years to come.
I have taught saxophone, flute, and clarinet students from age 9 to adults, beginners to advanced, at community music schools, summer festivals, and after school programs, both individual and group lessons in New York, Virginia, and Massachussetts. I possess a flexible, fun, innovative teaching approach with a focus on the ear and improvisation.
In February 2010 I was also invited to the University of Virginia to work with jazz students for a few days. The trip was a great success. It was a lot of fun working with the students there and I hope to do more workshops in the future.
I currently teach flute, clarinet, and saxophone for the Brookline Public Schools. I teach on Monday at Pierce, Tuesday at Runkle, Wednesday at Lincoln, Thursday at Lawrence, and Friday at Devotion.
I have organized a recital for my students to perform in every year since starting at Brookline in 2007-08.
