Teaching Philosophy: "My teaching philosophy is simple and direct. I approach each student as an individual, regardless of level, and work with them to help them achieve their goals and have a fulfilling relationship with music. It is important for me to learn about each student’s background and goals and evaluate how best to accomplish them with a clear semester-by-semester approach that addresses their strengths and weaknesses. My pedagogical lineage is important to me and I take a holistic approach that incorporates all aspects of bassoon playing (orchestral, chamber, solo), ear training, reed making and equipment selection in hope that I can pass on the knowledge I’ve gained from working with the masters. Above all, I strive to be clear and flexible with my expectations and a positive role model for all of my students."
