I have been a teacher and performer for many years. Please let me help you if you feel like you’ve been stuck at the same playing level for a long time or just want to go try having more fun with music by playing better.

My students tend to get better very fast. Its because we create measurable goals that are important to you, the student and I have a system which has worked for myself and my students. This system addresses each individual aspect of playing. We do it separately so we can work on fixing them effectively.

Rather than spending your time watching a Youtube exercise, kind of doing it and then giving up because you don’t know if you are doing it right, why not get a Personal Music Trainer who can give you the help you to show MEASURABLE PROGRESS in every area of your playing over time.

My biggest joy is teaching and instructing ensembles. I have taught Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet and Jazz Improvisation for many years privately and in the Napa, Sonoma County, and Marin County schools. Please contact me if you’d be interested in doing private lessons. I have taught students from 7 to 70 years old and the joy of learning new information and playing good music is something you should not miss. 

I have a Bachelors of Music Education from University of Missouri, ST Louis and I attended Berklee College of music for 2 years when I was a trumpet major, before I switched to Saxophone.
