"I have been providing private instruction in brass, piano, theory, and music composition since 1996. I have a BMus in trumpet performance from Andrews University and a MMus in trumpet performance from the University of Minnesota. I currently maintain a busy studio teaching brass, piano, and theory in the southwest Minneapolis metro area. I have written a series of method and theory books for use with private brass students. In addition to my teaching studio I also maintain a busy schedule performing and conducting."
