Teaching Philosophy
“I have studied with many teachers to refine my own playing and improve my trumpet performance pedagogy for the benefit of my students. The Donald S. Reinhardt method of brass teaching has been a core component of my studies over the last 18 years and has enabled me to successfully and quickly help students resolve issues with the mechanics of playing a brass instrument. The techniques imparted have enabled my students to perform both efficiently and with a positive mindset. I have a strong passion for helping students achieve their musical goals and equipping them with the skills and tools needed to express their musical message confidently and successfully to an audience.”
