Technique/Style/Lesson Books Used
With woodwinds I prefer to take each student at their specific pace so I do not have one single book I prefer to use. Instead I often write warm ups and workouts for them. I am a classically trained musician so that is the style of performance I teach.

Skill Levels Taught
Woodwinds I will work with all levels, beginning to college. Piano I prefer to work with beginners, any age. Composition I will work with anyone serious about writing. My course in composition is not simply a theory class, nor a college prep course, but a way for budding composers to find their voice and get some music written, and performed.
