LIFE UPDATE 🚨 🎶

I am happy to announce my packed summer schedule for 2024! Plus a few extra dates in the fall/winter. This last month has been extremely busy, exhausting and productive. I moved into my own apartment and am very proud to be paying my bills all through music and this beautiful instrument 🇹🇹. I have also taken on a few more students for online and in person Pan lessons! However, one thing I have not been doing enough of is resting. I’ve been dealing with some pretty bad shoulder pain recently and will be doing some physical therapy in the midst of all these performances. Take care of your bodies folks! I believe it’s just been overuse from performing, the move, and hauling all of my equipment to and from each gig. Definitely have to make some changes! I am also proud to have finished one year of teaching at Hatch Elementary School with and . Looking forward to many more to come. All in all, I am super grateful for all of the opportunities and support I have received since graduating from NIU. I hope to see some of you at a show this summer! Onwards and upwards!

My summer schedule Is OFFICIALLY out now on my website! Check it out and I hope to see you this summer! 😎 🔥 🎶
