Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion

I have a few years teaching experience and I am always excited to begin working with young students who are interested in becoming musicians themselves. I focus a lot on the technical aspects of musicianship because I believe everyone has their own feeling that they bring to music and I want to give my students the tools to be able to express themselves in their own musical way. Practice is definitely important in order for students to get familiar with the instrument and different styles and I also believe that learning different styles of music tends to help students to get better at the ones they like to play.

I began as a private lesson teacher as a young college student. Over the years, I have been a percussion teacher for multiple schools from the elementary to the high school level. I have taught a class of beginner drummers to be a cohesive drumline in less than a school year. I have had many one-on-one students as well, ranging from age 3 to adults as well. My versatile experience helps guide all of my students to reach their goals as a musician and beyond! Read More

Instruments: Piano Drums

Currently, I'm helping a local church playing piano and drums (when they're short a drummer), and I'm the lead singer for a band called Just A Theory. Having been a part of this band has been really cool because we've used this group as a platform to help the homeless, by having our fans bring food and clothing to our shows. It's been very nice to see people willing to do what they can to help those who are in need. Read More
