I teach privately out of my studio in Castro Valley, California and at San Jose State University. Philosophically I try to give my students a well grounded instruction in theory, saxophone technique, many styles of music from Bach to Brubeck, a chance to perform at CMEA Bay Section Solo and Ensemble Festivals, and Certificate of Merit festivals. In addition, I have had students almost every year make the CBDA/CMEA All-State Honor Bands.

I have also added the SmartMusic Studio to assist my students in their instruction, a strong program which helps students practice.
