As a multi-instrumentalists, I use a cross disciplinary approach even when a student is only learning one instrument. I do make use of method books for beginners, and the specific book depends upon the instrument, but I have my own methods and materials which I utilize in my lessons. Building a repertoire is encouraged, and I use the material to assist in instructing in theory and musical communication. My students are taught to be self-sufficient, by way of practice, study, and cultivating an "ear." Read More

I belive in meeting the student where they are . Not everyone learns the same way. So I try my best to meet the student where they are at. Sometimes that means working out of a book...there are many great drum books. We can work together to find the one that is right for you. Somtimes, I simply work with the student to identiufy goals and then put together a plan to achieve those goals. Read More

At 14, Will had his first paying professional gig playing a production of Little Shop of Horrors in SE Michigan, where a community theater scene provided work and experience leading up to studying at the LA Music Academy in 2007. Will spent the next several years in Austin, TX and Los Angeles, CA working as a drummer playing many styles of music including top 40, jazz, funk, rock roll, country, etc. It's this real world playing experience that Will utilizes in teaching and passing on knowledge as well preparing students for a potential career as a musician.

Instruments: Drums
For students I will show other people around their age playing the drums and after that I will show them the fundamentals of making a beat and staying on beat. Once students have the fundamentals together then we would play songs that they like and find interesting in and we would play those songs by ear. No matter what level they are in. Not only do I want them to learn something but I also want them to have fun doing it as well too. Read More

I'm very passionate about music and sharing the knowledge I know to students. I was raised in Honolulu, Hawaii and started playing the drums when I was 8. I started out playing rock/pop and then slowly went into jazz. Now I am interested in playing a wide array of genres. I graduated from the Manhattan School of Music with a Bachelor's in Jazz Performance. I have traveled to many places across the world to play music: such as China, Mexico, Hawaii, and here in New York. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
In order to practice effectively one must have a goal. This goal could be as simple as learning out to play quarter notes or as big as performing at Madison Square Garden. From there you identify all of the steps that you must take in order achieve that goal, and break it down in to smaller achievable steps that will inevitably lead to achieving that goal.
One of the most important lessons that I learned about practicing is that you can never practice the basics enough. The more time you spend building a solid foundation, the more you will progress and the easier you will find it to move into more complex material.
When will I start to see results?
Everyone will start to see results at their own pace. For students who are just beginning they will see results much faster and much more frequently than a more experienced player. This is because as a musician progresses their goals will become more ambitious and harder to achieve. Therefore taking a longer time to achieve them. However, they become that much more rewarding when they are accomplished.
A personal philosophy of mine is not to compare oneself to any other musicians. The focus should be on creating your own unique sound, and learning how to speak with your own voice.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first drum teacher was the reason that I pursued music the way I did. He created this environment in the class room that made it feel as if I could trust him as if he were family. We would occasionally have lessons where we would just talk for half an hour about music and where we wanted to be with our music in ten years. This allowed me to start to think about my future, and helped me not only to learn music, but to develop life goals, and pursue those on a human level, outside of my music. This teacher helped me to realize my full potential in life, and helped to guide me into attending Berklee College of Music with an open mind and unparalleled ambition that transferred over to many other aspects of my life.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I can't quite pinpoint why it is that I chose the drum set. It was calling me to it, when you're a thirteen year old boy it's kind of hard not to want to play the drums. But, I believe it was the animalistic nature of the instrument that made me want to play it. I wanted to play loud, and I wanted to perform, but the drums gave me a safety net as well. I didn't have to be at the front of the stage with nothing but a microphone. I could do everything for the audience that the singer could, but from behind a drum set. It gave me a sense of security while still allowing me to be the performer that I am. After a couple of years I learned that the drums, as animalistic as they can be, can also be played sweetly, and it was the unlimited possibilities of what a drum can do that keeps me going to this day.
