I have guest lectured at Manhattan School of Music, University of Toronto, University of North Texas, and Humber College at the masters, undergraduate, and pre-college levels. I have also recently started substitute teaching for Jim McNeely’s classes at Manhattan School of Music. If you are interested, please use the following link to book lessons.
