Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion

I believe that every student is different and it is important for the teacher to be flexible and take their goals into account. Some students want to play in a band and deal with music and performance right away, and some students want to become very technically adept at the instrument. Above all, I believe it is important to be patient and to practice with a musical application in mind. Read More

I started teaching percussion in 2011 at Forest High School. I taught their drum line for four years, until I went to the University of Florida in 2015.

With these younger students, a certain amount of practice could merit a prize (i.e. iTunes gift card). Read More
