More than a teacher

“Learning to play an instrument is a means to a beginning.”

“Yes, I will teach you to read and play music, but together we can do so much more, and go so much further.

I will show you why we learn to play and read in the first place.

I will be your guide as we embark on the journey of Western music history from antiquity to present-day, connecting every dot and answering every question along the way.

I will be your coach as we design exercise and technical routines to improve your skill on brass instruments, while navigating the pitfalls so many fall into along the way.

I will be a fellow scientist as we delve into the physics of music and sound, from the harmonic frequency series to equal-temperament keyboards to the design of rotary valves.

I will be your companion as you learn not just to recreate melodies and harmonies, but to speak through your performance.

I will be your champion and advocate as we finally discover what you have to say. And once you are ready, no music will ever feel the same.

I’m so confident that you will find my methods and guidance to be an asset to your musical and artistic development, I’m offering our first session for free*.
