I started teaching part time while still in high school back in my native Malaysia and that is where my experience began.

I am an instructor who emphasizes student success, happiness, fulfillment and result.

We learn the music you want to learn when you study with me! The very first lesson I ask the student what he or she is inspired by.

It did not take long after I first began playing drums in the 4th grade to realize that this was something that I wanted to center my life around.

I have worked with students of all ages and abilities teaching every style of music and playing imaginable.  As a player I have had the opportunity to play with all kinds of ensembles and bands all over the country.
