This continued, grew and developed throughout my 5 year tenure. As required by music education minors, we had to participate in finding an accredited school system and observe for one year and assist for one year. I was fortunate to discover String Theory Charter School in Center City Philadelphia and began walking to the school every morning before my classes started, sitting in the back of the classroom taking notes and shadowing the orchestral and vocal teachers as they went about their morning classes, absorbing as much information as I could.

It did not take long after I first began playing drums in the 4th grade to realize that this was something that I wanted to center my life around. I had the good fortune to attend college for music as well as study at Drummers Collective. I started teaching just after college at several local music stores. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities teaching every style of music and playing imaginable.  As a player I have had the opportunity to play with all kinds of ensembles and bands all over the country.

Legend has it that Mozart's father (his teacher) would not let young Amadeus practice the piano unless he was there to supervise. This assured that young Mozart would always get the guidance and training he needed to master his instrument as fast as possible. That is how I view my job.

It was, but it was even more fun for me because I was already well comfortable with what they were teaching, so the teacher would use me as an aide to assist the other students with what they were learning.

I am a touring and session musician here in LA. I have had the honor of working with artists such as Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, Carly Rae Jepsen, Iggy Azalea and many more. Among the TV appearances I've made I can mention: SNL, Miley's New Year's Eve, The Grammys, The Tonight Show, MTV VMAs and more. However, nothing I've done in my personal life can compare to the joy I feel when my students learn a song, a fill or just learn to love music. Read More
