Professional Musician and Music Teacher

Over 16 years of experience in jazz, pop, and classical music settings

I believe that music education must be fun and accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. I love to share my years of experience with students and hope I can pass on my love for music to them.
I am a saxophonist with 16 years of experience playing a wide variety of genres from jazz to pop to classical. As a gigging professional musician, I have many years of experience playing in live settings to audiences of all sizes and can give you direct feedback and the core skills for live performance.
Teaching Experience
I have a wealth of experience teaching students of a variety of ages and abilities. This includes:
