Over the years, I've taken lessons from instructors who had an array of teaching styles. While in high school, I was taught through intimidation and was scared into learning, which is something I was able to handle.

This not only creates a positive learning environment for the student but helps create a relationship between instructor and student that only helps the growth of both individuals. Read More

Hi! I'm a drummer and composer from the south of France, I've been teaching drums from more than 10 years and I love it!

Up until I moved to New York I was a touring drummer as a sideman and as a leader all over Europe (France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands for most part). Read More

When students are able to set forth their own individual goals, I have noticed that they are more eager and passionate about their learning. As their instructor, I assist students in creating said goals, but most importantly, I try to tailor my lessons in a way that helps my students remain inspired while promoting their own growth and fulfillment of their goals. I am also very conscious of the fact that I must teach and appropriately address every single aspect of what students are learning. Read More

I first started teaching in the summer of 2002 when a friend from church wanted his son to learn drums. His desire was for his son to play one day on the praise team.

Throughout college I continued to teach out of my studio and developed my skills even more when I moved back to Maryland in 2009. Read More
