Teaching & Skills
With over ten years of private teaching experiences to students of all ages and levels, I have demonstrated the enjoyment of learning music in a variety of styles (Classical, jazz, pop and folk). Each student has developed solid understanding of music theory and techniques for their chosen instrument (Clarinet, Flute, Saxophone or Piano) and many have shown an interest in continuing their music education and or a desire to continue playing their instrument while pursing their education towards their career. As a band clinician for many years, I have visited both public and private schools to help individuals improve their musical skills and introduce the joy of music.
