Introduction: I have been fortunate enough to have many performance and teaching opportunities thus far in my life. From a multiple performances at the Blue Note in NYC, to performing with jazz legends such as Frank Sinatra Jr, Paquito D'Rivera, and more. I know what it takes to be a performing musician which gives me a distinct edge when it comes to teaching and preparing a student for the same.
I love to help students really figure out how to play their instrument. For example, in regards to my trumpet students, when I have a student that goes from being the very worst in their school to being the best, it's an awesome feeling.
