Teaching Philosophy
Teaching is one of the most rewarding parts of being a musician. It is important to me to help other aspiring musicians reach their fullest potential. I do this by focusing on the fundamental aspects of music making, and making sure my students have a foundation of knowledge and skill to approach pieces with ease.
Musical Education
I received my BM in Clarinet Performance from the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre, and Dance and my AD in Clarinet Performance from the Glenn Gould School. My principal teachers include Chad Burrow, Dan Gilbert, and Joaquin Valdepeñas.
Special Skills and Trainings
I was a mentor for the Detroit Symphony Civic Youth Ensembles, so I have a lot of experience working with young musicians and really love it.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
