MUSICIAN. EDUCATOR. COMPOSER.

Private Lesson Studio

I help with several programs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including the Lewisville, Prosper, & Birdville Independent School Districts. Most recently I taught for three years in the greater Austin (TX) area working in the Leander, Round Rock, Lake Travis, Pflugerville, and Austin Independent School Districts. In addition I'm also on the brass staff of Bluecoats Drum & Bugle Corps where my primary responsibility is to develop & manage the baritone & euphonium section. The materials provided were organized for beginners through professionals and are meant to help enhance the fundamentals for any musician.

Multiple Tonguing Basics for Brass

This is a short packet that I wrote for the Bluecoats to use in our brass technique packets for our students. An achievable range it utilized throughout to help develop this technique & maximize repetitions. There are plenty of wonderful resources out there, but this is focused on those initial steps before students move towards more advanced materials. The sole purpose of this packet is to establish a solid foundation to build on.
