I would teach students to play by ear since that is what I know. I believe in showing somebody how to make that beat is best. Once you get that down, then I can show the student something a little harder. It is best to start out very simple because someone just learning has to develop confidence to move on to something else. A student will give up if it is not reinforcing. Read More

I'm a performer and educator motivated most by the flash of joy I see in students' faces when they first grasp a new musical concept. With a global perspective on music cultivated by my background performing Brazilian music and American Jazz since childhood, and further bolstered by a B.A. in Anthropology: Ethnomusicology from Ithaca College, I have been a full time touring musician for the last 10 years. In addition to mainstage festival appearances all over the country, I have been lucky enough to teach clinics and master classes in percussion at top conservatories and universities such as Oberlin College & Georgetown University, as well as workshops in high schools, middle schools, & elementary schools all over the US.

I am a very patient and enthusiastic instructor who loves working with students just being introduced to the instrument, or already passionate about it. I recently graduated from Montgomery College, where I studied Jazz and a touch of orchestral percussion. I've been playing in bands since I was about 13, and have now played over 200 shows as well as toured most of the eastern half of the US. I've also played on quite a few studio albums as of now, and continue to do studio work around the area. Read More
