I have over 10 years of experience on the Clarinet and other reed instruments. I have a Bachelor’s of Arts Degree in Music Education from the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College and have studied classical clarinet as well as saxophone under various professors at the college.
I also have experience in teaching NYSSMA solos, intermediate/advanced techniques on the saxophone and clarinet, and have run and directed my own orchestra and jazz band during my time in college.
I am also trained in teaching every common band instrument at a beginner level, and can also teach bass guitar/upright bass at a beginner level.
I have a reputation for achieving whatever goals I set my sights on musically, from performing to composing and conducting.
I am also in touch with the current music education situation in New York City and am a certified teacher in New York State in Music, Grades K-12.
I personally believe practicing should be fun, and have devised multiple strategies for success to kick-start one’s drive for peak performance in music!
