"I studied Music Education and Performance at the Herb Alpert School of Music at the University of California, Los Angeles.

I am a certificated music teacher and have been in the band room for nine years. My experience teaching and coaching elementary/middle/high school and drum corps students extended over ten years. My students have continually received gold and superior rankings at concert festivals.

I have expertise in teaching rhythm, music notation, sight reading, ear training, improvisation, music theory, harmony, chord structure and analysis, and teaching fundamentals on all wind and and percussion instruments."
