Toured the US, Europe and Canada with the Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet. Appeared at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, with the Montclair Women’s Big Band.

I am open to helping students learn various styles of music. Bring in some sheet music or a recording, and I will help you learn your favorite piece! I enjoy teaching improvisation and playing by ear as well as music reading. I believe it’s never too late to start (or return to) playing music, and I welcome beginners and more advanced players.
