Basic Teaching Philosophy or Special Music Interests/Specialties

Music should be accessible to everyone. Any age, any level of experience, and ambition.

The recorder is my favorite instrument, with its beguiling tone, beautiful repertoire, and openness to players of any age, size, or financial means. The whole family can play!

A few of my favorite things…

What do you love about Chicago?

What does music mean to you?

Three Questions Answer

What do you love about Chicago?
Chicago has the exciting cultural diversity of a big city, plus the friendliness of the Midwest. I love living near Lake Michigan.

Favorite composer: Georg Phillip Telemann. Incredibly prolific, and each piece is a gem. My favorite musical form is Theme and Variations. It holds the key to our ability to make a better world. An eternal challenge to look at situations in new ways.

In architecture school I learned that design “problems” have “solutions.” Just when you think you’ve composed the last possible variation, your mind shifts and discovers yet another way. That’s beautiful and hopeful.

Basic Teaching Philosophy or Special Music Interests/Specialties

Teaching philosophy and areas of expertise:
In addition to being a fine performer on one's primary instrument, students must seek a strong sense of musicianship grounded in analysis and informed by historical performance practices. This deeper engagement with the repertoire of all periods facilitates more intentionally expressive music-making. Both the beginner and the virtuoso are faced with the same challenge: performing in a way that speaks to the audience.
