What to expect in my Orchestral Lessons

Beginner -

I have studied classical trumpet for ten years now, performed onstage at symphony halls around the Midwest, and am very enthusiastic about teaching aspiring young brass players.


What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Song writing is a marriage of music theory and personal expression, two of what I consider to be the most important aspects of music. Students and I will delve into what makes a good song good and use this to further the students own writing


What to expect in my Keyboard and Piano Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I think a firm grasp of theory is essential when approaching the piano, as well as a firm grounding in the fundamentals of the instrument. where the lessons go from there depends on the desires of the student


What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I'm a relatively laid back instructor, but I believe in the importance of understanding the fundamentals of how music works as well as a working relationship with your instrument. We'll work on standards, as well as whatever the student might be interested in.
