MAKING EVERY LESSON COUNT

 I began playing music as a kid.  I played the bassoon in school 6th through eighth grade.  I switched to my instrument of choice, percussion in 9th grade.  At that time I had also started playing the guitar and bass guitar and joined the high school jazz band.  I continued my study of music in to college.  I earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of North Texas in Denton, TX in instrumental music education.  I have taught private music lessons since before I graduated college.  After graduating I began teaching in public schools as a director and music teacher.  I have been a music teacher for 17 years now.  I also have played professionally for several local groups in the DFW area.
