Phil brings over thirty years of teaching experience to his students, working with all ages, levels, and stylistic interests. He has taught individual and group formats, from beginner classes to college level ensembles, and works with all instruments in the areas of theory/composition and improvisation. His pedagogical philosophy aims to facilitate learning music as a language, while simultaneously helping students to (eventually) become their own teacher. This involves helping them acquire the tools and understanding to achieve their musical and life goals. It is about the growth and development of the entire person.
