  • My students are recent winners of MTNA National and Regional Competitions, local concerto and youth orchestra competitions, and they serve as Concertmasters and Principal players in their youth programs. My former students have gained acceptance into several of the world’s most prestigious schools and conservatories: including Juilliard Pre-College, Harvard University, Carnegie Mellon University, Indiana University, New England Conservatory, and the Cleveland Institute of Music.

  • Yes! My students and the many young professionals who I have had the privilege of coaching can now be found in professional orchestras around the country: including the Atlanta Symphony, the Chattanooga Symphony, the Nashville Symphony, the Santa Barbara Symphony, Albany Symphony, and the Tucson Symphony, among others.

As Co-Director of the East Tennessee State University (ETSU) Chamber Music Festival along with David Kovac, the fledging string festival has expanded into a blossoming program.”
