My marimba teaching focuses on technique, sound, phrasing, and thoughtful practice, with lessons shaped around your goals and repertoire.

I teach percussion with a specialization in marimba at West Chester University and bring that experience to my private studio.

Lessons can also include vibraphone, xylophone, snare drum, timpani, and other percussion instruments.
