I offer individualized audition preparation services for college/graduate-level students intending to succeed in auditions for professional orchestras or military bands.

A coaching relationship consists not just of weekly or biweekly lessons, but also frequent detailed feedback throughout the week during each preparation cycle. I will be your coach for:

• repertoire
• efficient practice methods
• developing confidence
• performance psychology
• audition strategy

I work with all my students to create a tailor-made, day-to-day, week-to-week, hyper-organized audition preparation plan that covers musical, technical, mental, and health-related considerations, to make the process as simple as possible. All students have access to their own Google Drive folder with spreadsheets, transcripts of lessons, and an archive of feedback.

Beyond addressing musical interpretation and technical problem-solving, I take special interest in helping my students develop their confidence through substantive, actionable methods rooted in neuroscience and sport psychology.

My students have a 100% success rate for program of choice, or tier of orchestra desired, within 12 months of beginning coaching.

While most of my students are online-only, I'm also currently accepting new local students in the DC-area.

Please contact me for my rate, billed as a monthly commitment. All prospective students receive a free trial lesson.
