“My focus is to help students develop into their best selves: to become confident learners, critical thinkers, and accomplished individuals able to express themselves and their ideas well.”

“I work towards engaging students in my lessons and in the material by using a number of strategies. It is great pleasure to assist students in becoming individually eloquent and distinct in their musical voices. I believe this is important developmentally not just for musicianship but also for all of life.”

As a professor, I lead a studio of aspiring saxophonists who pursue careers in music performance, music education, music technology, and beyond.

Montana State University is one of the nation’s top research universities with R1 top-tire classification. It is designed to enable students to combine concentrated music studies with a wide variety of areas outside of music.
