It all started when I was in 5th grade at an elementary school in the state of Washington. I began studying the clarinet in school and within a year my parents enrolled me in private lessons. As I progressed thru junior high school, I became very interested in music. My family and I moved to California in 1961 and I continued my musical studies on the clarinet as well as learning how to play saxophone. I performed in everything at the high school: orchestra, clarinet and bass clarinet; stage band, tenor sax; concert band, marching band, German Band, Santa Clara County Honor Band, California Music Educators Solo/Ens. Festival, California State Honor Band and the California Youth Symphony, clarinet.
After graduating from high school I went on to Foothill College still pursuing music and playing in all the ensembles: symphonic band, orchestra, jazz band and pit bands for musical shows. One highlight of my college experience was being selected to play in the California College Honor Band that traveled back to Michigan for the College Band Directors National Conference. I also performed in the Master Sinfonia Chamber Orchestra at Foothill College and coached at the California Youth Symphony summer music camps. While enrolled at Foothill College, I started teaching private clarinet lessons, traveling to students homes. In 1968 I transferred to San Jose State to finish my B.A. in Music. Again, I continued to perform in all the performance ensembles and taught private lessons, but this time through a local music store. While at San Jose State, I pledged the music fraternity; Phi Mu Alpha. After graduating from San Jose State, I enrolled for the credential program and the Masters Degree program. In 1971 I was hired by the Milpitas Unified School District to teach instrumental music. I did teach in Milpitas for seven years and also developed an extensive private lesson program which brings me to my current position at South Bay School of Music Arts. I maintain a 45 student private lesson program as well as instruct the wind ensemble, a jazz combo, big band and sax quartet.
