FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will start by asking a few questions about the students musical experiences, how long they’ve been playing, what musically interests them. From there I’ll listen to the student play, and find a good starting point to create goals or tasks. I strive to find a balance between the students musical interests and what I feel are important aspects of playing that need attention.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor of music in jazz performance from University of Oregon, as well as a master in music degree from University of Nevada Reno. I have been playing and studying Saxophone for 17 years, and teaching full time for 5 years.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My teachers and mentors meant a lot to me growing up, so I began teaching as a way to give back. I love seeing students grow musically and overcome challenges.
