Typically, lesson plans are build around students goals. Some students may not have an interest in learning from a "traditional" approach from a book. Although this is highly recommended, I create different lesson plans for each individual student.

I have had experience teaching at both the public school and university level, as well as through private lessons. I primarily teach piano, drum set, and percussion lessons through both in-home and online formats since 2019. Through my experience teaching these past four years, I have had the pleasure of teaching students of all ages (from 5 to 65 years old) and experience levels. Another passion of mine is instruction at the university level, where I have had two years of experience teaching pedagogy courses for undergraduate students along with coaching and instructing music ensembles.

Apart from being the drummer for Seek Irony, I worked as a professional session drummer for ten years before moving to the US about a year and a half ago.
