Note: I am currently accepting new students, and am teaching lessons online only. I will be teaching lessons exclusively online until we have a widely available vaccine for COVID-19 and it has been deemed safe for people to be in each others’ space with very low risk of infection.
Goals Tailored to You
I’ve taught for over a decade and so I have materials that can be used to fit whatever your musical goals. Don’t know what those are? Not a problem. I can show you different paths you can take in your musical journey.
Multiple Instruments
As a low brass specialist, I teach all levels and ages of trombone, euphonium, and tuba. I also work with beginning and intermediate trumpet players. I also have experience teaching general musicianship, music technology, and more!
Flexible Times
I offer lessons for 30, 45, and 60 minutes. I strongly recommend meeting at least weekly to ensure continued growth. We can set up lessons to be either ongoing or for a specific number of weeks.

Additional Details
01
Same Process Regardless of Service
I offer wyzant mostly to give students the assurances that they offer. They are a widely used reputable service for collecting payments and holding virtual lessons. They have a good fit guarantee with new tutors. They also complete background checks and assess tutors knowledge on their topic.
02
Generous Cancellation Policy
I understand how unpredictable everyone’s lives are today. If you need to move a lesson, I’ll need 24 hours notice. If it’s less than 24 hours, I’ll offer you available times to reschedule. If those times do not work, I will charge 50% of the lesson for the missed session. I also allow one cancellation without charge per semester.
03
Access to Materials
I have many materials that I’ve created and collected over the years. When you sign up for lessons you’ll gain access to the student portal on this page, which is regularly updated and includes everything you’ll need to improve on your instrument.
04
More than Just an Instrument Lesson
Music is much more than just playing an instrument. Our lessons will focus on developing the student as well rounded musicians who understand how to play their instrument as well as understand the history of the music they play, the way it was created, and the context that music has in our lives.
