STUDY
I believe in educating the entire individual: bassoonist, musician, artist, and person. At the Blair School of Music I regularly work with students from a wide variety of backgrounds who posses an array of academic talents and interests. Some former students have gone onto graduate study in performance at the Yale School of Music, the University of Texas at Austin, and the University of Michigan. Others have gone on as music educators, arts administrators, and freelance bassoonists . Still others have pursued careers outside of music and choose to maintain their musical lives avocationally.
Lessons with me are about mastering the fundamentals of bassoon-playing and reed-making-- but always in the service of creative musical expression. I foster a culture of mutual support and camaraderie amongst my students, and strive to create an environment where experimentation and thinking outside the box are welcomed and encouraged.
