I enjoy teaching students of all ages and ability levels, provided that they are highly motivated to make progress. I have had success with starting kids out on bassoon, teaching on the high school and college levels, and I am in demand by professionals for pre-audition coaching. I have given master classes throughout the world.
My teaching is a rigorous mix of objective (technical), and subjective (musical). I have put much thought into how to express sometimes illusive ideas in specific terms.
