Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I began teaching in 2009 while I was attending the University of Massachusetts Lowell. While I was a student I began to study with some truly great musicians who really helped me realize my potential. I got some jobs teaching area high school drumlines and marching bands and really enjoyed the experience. When I first started playing I was mostly interested in marching bands and drumlines. I marched multiple seasons with the Boston University Winter Percussion Ensemble while in high school and then held the center snare position with the Spartans Drum and Bugle Corps.. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I was born in 1991 and started playing drums shortly after that. Growing up in Detroit Michigan I fell in love with sound and was exposed early to many different styles of music. Studying music from a early age I went on to attend Berklee College of Music on Scholarship where I received various awards and performed with many of my favorite musicians including George Garzone, Bob Gullotti, John Lockwood, Doug Johnson, Aaron Goldberg, Joanne Brackeen, and many more.

Instruments: Guitar Drums
I love music so much, that teaching it too is rewarding. I have the ability to customize my lessons for each student, as they sometimes process musical information differently. To see a students musical goals evolve is the aim of my lessons. It is important to understand the interests of the student, and the ability to teach the right information based on those interests.

Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums
I am well versed in the pop/rock genres and have taught myself through learning popular songs but even more singificantly through composition; I have written over one hundred songs as a singer-songwriter and have much to impart in this field. The skills developed in these areas (improvisation, composition, music theory) are the ones most likely to ensure an autonomically deep and everlasting connection to confident music performance and development.

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Trombone Drums Bass Guitar Organ Euphonium Tuba
I feel that it is best not to use the cookie cutter approach to teaching music. Each student is unique in their own way and is able to learn and apply musical concepts differently; therefore I take a careful and studious approach to make sure that my students have the best advantage by creating a custom lesson plan specific to their learning pace. I do my best to make it fun and engaging while increasing their ability and knowledge of music as it applies to their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
I use a wide range of teaching materials for my lessons, and customize my lesson plans based on the skill level of the student, instrument of choice and areas of interest. I prefer a multi-faceted curriculum of method books, reading materials, listening assignments, stylistic studies, and live performance. This kind of balanced diet will help the student develop rudimental, technical, and reading ability, along with creativity and musicality. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I began teaching over the summer of 2010. While attending Berklee, I had countless one-on-one and small group sessions with fellow drummers where we would bounce ideas off one another and give each other "mini lessons," breaking down specific grooves and licks. In October, 2014, I led an hour-long master class for other Berklee percussion students about advanced polyrhythmic concepts and applications. In addition to teaching out of my rehearsal space in Allston, MA, I also make lesson videos that I share online. Read More
Instruments: Drums Synthesizer Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The drum set or drums, are believed to be one of the easiest instrument to learn however the most difficult to master. Keeping a B, hands and arms in sink, independent coordination between the four major limbs and then your brain is very challenging. Not to mention musicality. When you finally get pretty good at your instrument, playing with other musicians becomes a whole different challenge.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Honestly, my musical accomplishments are the ones that I had with the people I played music with. Playing on a hit album or song is obviously amazing. But, at the end of the day there’s nothing like going on stage with friends and putting on a memorable performance for an audience. There is nothing quite like that.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I’ve had a number of students come on to Berkeley College of music in Boston Massachusetts. ( One of the most respected music schools in the world ) . I’ve also had other students go onto music schools in California. I recently had a student go onto music college in Nashville. Others have succeeded in music engineering roles as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I’ve been asked this question hundreds of times over the years. 99% of my students I replace the word practice with the word play. It’s imperative that students, especially early on, are enjoying playing on their own time. If students view it as homework they may get bored very quickly. Personally, as a kid I would run to the drum set. It was never work at all. I feel that that is the key to success for students of any age.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Everyone’s attention span is different. I can tell you with confidence, after 20 to 30 minutes of sitting with your child, I will know if they are ready.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I never had to think about it. I played drums for the first time in my uncles basement at five years old. It was a no brainer. I loved playing. It was a part of me. It just felt right. Something I needed to do.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my kindergarten music teacher. She pulled me aside one day and told me I had a terrific singing voice and asked me to sing a solo in front of everyone. Trust me I was scared to death. Fortunately I was so good, I ended up getting a room full of applause. Even at that young age I knew she believed I was talented. It filled me with confidence that I never forgot even years later.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results after the first lesson. I get students playing as fast as possible.
