Double bass lessons that support your goals and fuel your growth.

Study with a qualified, experienced teaching artist who understands your needs

Are you a beginning bassist seeking to learn the fundamentals of good technique? An intermediate-level bassist preparing for all-state auditions or school concerts? A high schooler or adult seeking to master a new orchestral excerpt or concerto? I can help.

I am a professional double bassist in the Raleigh-Durham area. I serve on the faculty of Duke University as well as its precollege division, the Duke University String School. I regularly work with groups like the North Carolina Symphony, the Charleston Symphony, the Charlotte Symphony, and the Carolina Ballet. I put my years of experience performing and teaching to work towards helping you succeed.
