Introduction: I'm a Fred Meyer of music. I teach, perform and even repair instruments. I'm specialized at woodwind instruments particularly oboe and bassoon. But that's not all. I'm an active teacher/performer on other instruments as well, such as banjo, guitar, mandolin, dulcimer, balalaika etc etc.
I love to see when students have "ah hah" moments!
I love when students start applying what they learned to their own music creation.
As well as achieving something difficult, I love to show my students the joy of playing music.
