Looking for a horn teacher, player, or arranger in the Los Angeles area?

There are many horn teachers in the Los Angeles area with a wide variety of specialties. I offer lessons to students of all ages and abilities. Having experienced such a wide range of students, my own teaching styles are customized to each individual student, since not all students have the same goals as a musician. Enjoying teaching students from 10 to 80 years old, I employ various teaching techniques and frequently use technology to assist in helping each student reach their goals.

I also have a wide interest of music beyond just horn instruction, including arranging, composing, historical performance practice, basic improvising, horn repairing and building, acoustics, and music industry which are brought into my teaching approach.
