I often hear younger musicians say, "I want to know everything!". As someone who plays violin, guitar, drums, bass, ukulele, piano and sings in styles from funk to jazz to Irish to classical to country to hip-hop, I can identify with this desire a lot! I also wanted to know everything for a long time. But wanting to do everything means that your practice never gets narrowed down to the specific thing you want to do. Read More

I'm a independent freelance performance artist, sound engineer, and educator. I started teaching music and audio production in 2012. I graduated in 2016, and started pursuing a career in audio production in film. My personal philosophy is that anyone can play any instrument, as long as they pour their heart and soul into learning music. I consider myself a self taught multi-instrumentalist. I've always had a passion for challenging myself and learning new instruments. Read More

I have had extensive lessons on all ends of the music education spectrum. I took informal guitar lessons from rock n roll musicians who couldn't read music while I was in middle school/high school, and I took classical lessons while in college from professors who couldn't improvise in more than one or two styles (or sometimes none). I believe there is a happy medium that is the ideal way for music to be taught. Read More

I am not strict in one specific style. I try to be malleable in my approach as I get to know the habits and abilities of each individual. I've had students for whom I thought it best to be more rigid and repetitive drill based, while others seem to benefit from a more passive guru. It's a spectrum. Always, though, I try to control the pace of the session, to speak thoughtfully, honestly, and constructively whilst always maintaining the utmost respect for the struggles that a student is facing.

Instruments: Drums

My teaching style prioritizes consistent, daily practice set in a musical context. Weekly lessons keep students active and involved in their drumming education, while assigned practice exercises promote gradual but steady improvement. Assigned practice exercises are designed to improve rudiment execution, hand and foot technique, and musical sensibility. As soon as the student feels comfortable with the instrument and is ready for the challenge, I will start to include play-along tracks or recorded songs in the practice rotation. Read More
