Having taken lessons on several instruments and being self-taught on others I understand that the most important thing a teacher can instill in their student is 1) the basic knowledge to understand the instrument, and 2) the passion to discover and teach themselves. After all, discovery is a far more effective teacher than instruction. I believe it is my job to guide a student onto the right track with a basic knowledge-base, and teach them to love music.

I began helping my friends work through their music when I was 19 at Missouri Western State University, and eventually cultivated a bustling studio of students through word of mouth.

DRUMS For children, beginner drummers, we will start with the Hal Leonard Drumset Method books. Starting out by reading, or learning to read sheet music will help the student in the years to come, even if they stop reading sheet music at some point. (Though I recommend keeping it up!) For beginner adult drummers, we will gear their lessons towards the music that they are interested in playing, but at the same time branching out and learning some other essential styles that will help their overall growth as a drummer.
