Not currently accepting new students
Hi, I'm Rachel! I hold bachelor's degrees in Instrumental Music Education and Psychology from UW-Green Bay, and I'm currently a music teacher at Washington Middle School in Green Bay. My primary instrument is the flute, and I've had the pleasure of performing with various wind symphonies, jazz bands, worship groups, pit orchestras, and chamber ensembles.
Aside from the flute, I also offer instruction on the alto saxophone and clarinet. Music is my passion, and I love sharing that enthusiasm with my students. My goal is to create a fun and comfortable learning environment for each individual, fostering a love for music in the process. I believe in tailoring lessons to the student's interests and encourage them to explore the styles of music that resonate with them the most.
Throughout our lessons, I incorporate music theory and artistry to help students develop a well-rounded understanding of music. It's important to me that my students not only play their instruments but also develop their musicality and expressiveness. I'm here to support and guide you on your musical journey, whether you're a beginner just starting to explore the world of music or an experienced player looking to further refine your skills.

Now offering in-person instruction
I'm Rob, a dedicated music educator with over 20 years of experience teaching instrumental music in both public and parochial schools. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Instrumental Music Education from UW–La Crosse, along with additional licensure in Choral and General Music from UW–Oshkosh.
My primary instrument is the euphonium, but I also teach trumpet, trombone, tuba, French horn, percussion, saxophone, clarinet, and flute. I work with students from 4th grade through adulthood, guiding brass players from beginner to advanced levels, and helping woodwind and percussion students build a strong foundation through intermediate levels.
Throughout my career, I’ve been actively involved in the Wisconsin music community. I perform with the North East Wisconsin Concert Band and serve on the State Board of the Wisconsin Concert Band Association, where I also chair the Intercollegiate Honors Band. As a WSMA Master Level Adjudicator, I’m passionate about supporting student growth through performance and evaluation.
I specialize in styles associated with concert band and solo/ensemble literature, and I’m committed to helping each student discover their unique musical voice while building strong technical and expressive skills.
