About Me

Teaching a person to play a musical instrument is my passion!I love watching a person learn and am excited to be part of the process.I am a retired band director with thiry-two years of experience. Many of my former students have gone on to exciting music careers in teaching, performing, commercial and military. Prior to that, I spent three years as a bugler in the U.S. Army with the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps near Washingtpn, D.C. I am accepting clarinet, trumpet, trombone and piano students. I would be excited to become a part of your musical adventure!

My Musical Education Background

Bachelor of Music Education, Kent State University, Kent, Ohio

Numerous music workshops and seminars

Genres and Subjects Taught

I believe a person should be taught the basics of their instrument of choice. From there, my motto is what the great Duke Ellington once said, "There are only two kinds of music, good and everything else."
