When I first applied for colleges while I was still in high school, I had gotten accepted to West Point and later rejected due to asthma. This was also the case with both the Army and Marine full ride ROTC scholarships I had received.

I thus began college expecting to finish my Mechanical Engineering degree, pursue graduate school, and work in the field of alternate fuel technology. However, some very important changes occurred upon attending: I found the person I truly am. By reaching for my dreams I played in various semi-professional ensembles in Portland and soon pursued a music career. I have now been accepted to Berklee College of Music which only motivates me further. While this experience has been interesting at the very least, it has given me a wide variety of skills and patience to teach those skills to others which I have enjoyed doing for many of my friends and peers.
Now that I have just moved to Boston, I am in search of various jobs (be it teaching, playing music, or working at a local store) to pay for rent and meet new people. Whenever I teach others, I have found the experience to be extremely rewarding, and I look forward to being able to share my experiences with you and help you learn as I am sure I will.

Ear Training

I am a graduate from the University of Portland with a B.A. in Music Performance and will be attending Berklee School of Music for Music Production and Engineering. Furthermore, I have been attempting to teach myself perfect pitch (absolute pitch or AP) for two years now, and have made great progress using a recollection method where I think about a well known piece of music to obtain a reference pitch.

General Music

I am a graduate from the University of Portland with a B.A. in Music Performance and will be attending Berklee School of Music for Music Production and Engineering. I have been a part of several musicals, gigs, and jam sessions around Portland, Oregon and am constantly teaching myself more information relating to music in any and every way.

Phonics

During my private lessons for trombone, my teacher told me that he had taught an enunciation class. This motivated me to imagine how my music education could assist me in this subject as well. Often times in a music lesson you are asked to tell the instructor exactly how you articulate a note in terms of the placement of the tongue, airstream, and the force of air being used. This has given me the unique skill of awareness in how to produce sounds and articulate speech in ways that allow me to... Read More

Trombone

Having played a trombone for 12 years, I have become proficient not only in the performance aspect, but educating others as well. I have volunteered at an underprivileged high school in Portland, Oregon and have given many of my friends, peers, and younger acquaintances lessons. In terms of education, I am a graduate from the University of Portland with a B.A. in Music Performance and will be attending Berklee School of Music for Music Production and Engineering.

Trumpet

While I have only played the trumpet for 5 years, I have played the trombone for 12 years and have given many lessons on both instruments. However, I would not proclaim myself to be able to teach a trumpet student above the intermediate level. In terms of education, I am a graduate from the University of Portland with a B.A. in Music Performance and will be attending Berklee School of Music for Music Production and Engineering.
