I believe that music education must be fun and accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

I am a saxophonist with 16 years of experience playing a wide variety of genres from jazz to pop to classical. As a gigging professional musician, I have many years of experience playing in live settings to all sizes of audiences.
