For any lesson I prefer to have two drum kits, side by side, so that my student can see exactly what I'm doing (posture, form, etc).

Not only am I an accomplished musician, I am also a talented teacher. My hunger for effective teaching began as I often interacted with excellent musicians who were lacking only in their ability to teach their craft. My first experiences teaching percussion were at The Music School, formerly located in American Fork, Utah. There, I enjoyed giving private lessons to about 25 students who ranged from the ages of 5 to 50 years old. Read More
