Bio

I have worked as a freelance oboist in the NYC area for almost 20 years, playing in over two dozen Broadway shows, in countless classical orchestras and chamber groups, and on many recordings. I also sing professionally and have sung on Broadway and in many area churches etc.

I've enjoyed watching my students grow from struggling beginners to professional-quality players. I have proudly seen several of my students perform oboe concertos with full orchestras. Many of them play in area youth symphonies and have performed at Carnegie Hall, and many of the adults perform in high-quality amateur groups and symphony orchestras.

I am also a Certified Life Coach (NYU) and bring coaching skills to my work with students to help them fulfill their full potential.

I teach on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, and in Massapequa, Long Island.
