Everyone has the capacity to be a musician...therefore, I teach students of all ages and include all cultures (all styles and musical genres). No one is a 'beginner' when it comes to recognizing great music, so I strive to create musicians who can reach their own goals...thus, building independence is the key: My job is done when my students can do what I do without needing me! For more experienced students, I assess your present skills upon our first lesson via a variety of repertoire so as to 'diagnose' what areas you need improvement on musically speaking. Read More

Methods vary by experience, age, demeanor, motivation, etcetera- but in general, we will start playing music YOU want to learn. A cover or style YOU want to play. What rock song do you want to know, or Rn B song, or country song, or church song. As long as it is not too difficult or out of your current ability we will do it.

I believe listening is the key to learning. I listen to my students to discover what techniques are working best for them and which are their weakest then adapt my lessons to their needs.

I enjoy seeing the rewards of hard work that a student and I achieve. I take joy in using my musical learning endeavors and experiences to educate my students. we start by finding out their desired path, past experiences, current influences, and use these things to map out a plan. From the plan we determine what we'll be learning. Some things may or may not be core or necessary to thier path of learning what they'd like to learn. Read More

I was born to play drums... no kidding, as a third generation drummer in my family, I began beating on my dad's kit from the moment that I could hold a pair of sticks. My experiences in high school and college drumlines, as well as Drum Corps International provided a tremendous base of knowledge, discipline, and dedication to many years of playing live shows all over the country with hundreds of talented musicians. 37 years and 1000's of performances later, I'm excited to perform and to share what Iknow with anyone and everyone.
