I like to find out why my students are interested in playing music. This helps me to create a lesson plan for each individual one.

I have found that doing this helps keep the student motivated and encouraged in the process of learning their given instrument. Read More

I have been teaching since 1977, and I am as passionate about teaching as I was on my first day!

My teaching style is a mix of fun and education. I was a student who struggled with ADD and I want to make each student's learning experience fun as the rudiments are mastered. I include drum set sheet music, and learning the student's favorite songs at their pace. If they need help with school band charts they are welcomed to bring them for study at the lesson. Bottom line - whatever you want to tackle, I strive to find the teaching method that works best for you and work in the fun. Read More

I meet each student as a unique challenge to help them become a better drummer. Read More
