Regardless of just starting on the drums as a kid or seeking some fine-tuning as a more seasoned player, Will allows the student to discover and foster their own strengths- it's this confidence that allows the student to dig into their weaknesses in a practical manor without feeling discouraged. Additionally, this allows the student to have specific focus on a topic when practicing on their own time and sets realistic expectations. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to 2008, teaching middle school private lessons as well as high school group lessons. I really enjoy teaching because of the experiences I had with my teachers in my early years of learning the drums and I've always wanted to give that information to others. I am very patient having the ability to teach any age level as well as ability level. I really encourage students to find creative ways to practice and have fun as well as weekly listening because the music gives us the tools to become a great musician. Read More

Somtimes, I simply work with the student to identiufy goals and then put together a plan to achieve those goals. Read More
