Most of my students (who don't already know) start off with basic theory (Major Scale & Major and Minor Chord Formulas). Whatever their ultimate goal for learning would determine where I would take it from there. If your goal is to play one song for your significant other we can do just that. If your goal is to perform we can cater to that as well. Maybe you're goal is to learn enough to write your own songs. Read More

I've been teaching since 2005:  Privately with students in their home or my studio, with brick-and-mortar studios, and with online lessons services (like Musika).  It's most important that my students have fun learning their instrument, but I also emphasize daily practice and work on the fundamentals of whichever instrument he or she is learning.  After all, if you don't work on the fundamentals, then you won't be able to play your instrument any better.

As I first approach a new student, my first question to them is "why drums?". From that response I have a better idea of where this student is most comfortable for playing.

After I know where you want to go I can then tailor my teaching to your specific wants. Sometimes thats teaching songs and sometimes its teaching theory. If your wanting to know how to read music or tabs I can help with that as well. Read More
