A Bit More About Me

I love music and everything about music. When I graduated from high school, I knew I wanted to be a music teacher and performer. I received a Bachelor of Music degree in Education and went on to receive a Master of Music degree in Performance. I started teaching music in the NY State and MA public schools and have been teaching music in Canton since 1996 and enjoy every day with my students. I love performing and have played with many community and professional orchestras, bands and chamber groups. I am presently the principal oboist with the Torrington Civic Symphony in Torrington, CT.
