I am a talented drummer looking to kick-start my career in music instruction. Now that I'm retired I have the time to follow something I've always wanted to do - to give back to the music community my experience as a working musician. With my leadership abilities and knowledge can create engaging lessons, with fun and insightful activities. I have been playing rock, funk, jazz and Latin on and off since 1976 - yeah, I might be older, but I'm still young at heart and can rock the house on any given night. Read More

Education should be as individual as each student! I try to adapt my personality and teaching style to best fit my students. Each lesson or clinic will demand something different of me, just like each topic will. Positive reinforcement has always been my go-to.

For beginning students i usually start with Hal Leonard's music books to get the fundamentals of music theory down.
