Welcome to my studio!

I have been teaching private lessons for over fifteen years. I enjoy teaching students ages 7 through adult at all experience levels. As a teacher, my goal is to help my students become expressive, confident, thoughtful and joyful musicians who have a good balance of technical and musical skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My students continually surprise me with their ability and dedication. They often hold first chair in their school band programs, have won placement in All-County, All-District, and All-State Bands and local youth orchestras, consistently receive Superior ratings at Solo and Ensemble Festival, and have also received college music scholarships.

 

 

 

 

 

I teach in my home studio in inner SE Portland, and I also offer online lessons through Skype and FaceTime.
