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.

Generally layed back low pressure lessons, but I will push a student if they let me. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More
Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I believe the proper technique is essential in order to be a successful percussionist. We would start by how to hold the stick properly, whether it be matched grip or traditional grip. From there we would move on to how to properly hit the drum and bounce the stick. The first few lessons are usually all about technique and approach and we would mainly stay on one drum or surface, but after that we would move to the drumset or another area that interests the student.

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.
