Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion

My teaching style is based on few important axioms such as getting a proper technique and posture, expanding musical awareness and creativity, and having an open mind to different music and cultures. From that, I love to set goals with the student and work towards it. I will usually bring some work each lesson, and always leave space for something that the student wants to explore. I really want the student to be engaged and to be inspired. Read More

I began my relationship with much when I starting playing drums at age 7. I played in percussion in school bands for a few years then I found the drum set.

I love listening to music with my students and checking out what interests you, along with recommending some listening choices. Read More

My method of teaching will both implement teaching students how to sight read but also more importantly how to play music by ear.

For younger students I do want them to start learning how to sight read at a basic level because it will make it easier for them in the long run. Read More
