Introduction: As a professional musician with the United States Army Field Band and a serious chamber musician, I enjoy performing music for audiences in the Baltimore/DC area and across the entire country; however, my true passion is teaching! I have years of experience teaching young people and adults, and my students have won regional competitions and gone on to study music at prestigious music schools like Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. I also enjoy teaching the most amateur of students: those who enjoy playing on a recreational level.
I love teaching because it is an act of sharing. I share my love of music with my students and I reveal to them the secrets that make music a joy to perform. My favorite moments are when students make breakthroughs in their lessons - realizing their potential as musicians and artists.
