My goal is to create life-long learners, so you may always find time for practice and a place to perform great music.
I've been teaching for over 20 years as a fully-certified music educator: I have taught both middle school band & choir to at-risk youth, as well as elementary music at a private Christian academy. My principal instrument is the saxophone (which I have been playing for about 35 years), and I play many other instruments. As for my formal education: I received the Bachelor of Music Education degree from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; and the Master of Music Education degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).
In addition, I provide private music instruction each week teaching lessons on a variety of instruments and have even served as a substitute teacher, as well as performing with various bands and ensembles over the years.
