I have been teaching music 40+ years in and outside of the public school. I enjoy working with individuals as well as small groups of people of all ages. I also teach Kindermusik, a child development program taught through music for children from birth to age 7.

My performing experience includes playing in the Vermont Symphony, the Vermont Philharmonic and the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra. I have also very much enjoyed working with pickup groups over the years and performing with several quintets.

I teach to the student, being sensitive to their learning style and looking for music that will interest them. I enjoy teaching the technique of playing the instrument as well as basic music theory and practice techniques.

Over the years, many of my students have participated in the New England, Vermont and local festivals as well as participating in Vermont Youth Orchestra and the Green Mountain Youth Symphony.
