Teaching Philosophy: "As an educator, my role is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for students to learn and grow. It is important for learning to take place in such an environment so that students are not only free to be themselves but free to make mistakes. It is my goal to be a facilitator of information and to mediate healthy discourse, rather than to talk to students or simply tell them what I know. Through my experiences as a musician, I hope to give my students information to become not only well-rounded musicians themselves but a well-rounded students who can apply skills learned and developed in lessons to other facets of life. Through music and the Horn, I will engage students in activities that require them to be creative, disciplined, flexible, and work cooperatively with others. I must also help them explore the emotions that various songs or types of music bring them and help them learn to articulate what they feel and why."
