I've been teaching privately since 2005 when I taught a young drummer who no one thought could be taught. Teaching him was a great learning experience and he is now a colleague of mine and has gone on to do some great things with what he has learned from me. I don't believe a person can't learn an instrument. It's my job as your teacher to guide you on your musical journey and help you succeed. Read More

I've been teaching guitar for the past 12 years, and more recently bass, ukulele, piano/keys, voice, percussion and studio recording as well.

I started teaching drums in San Francisco in 1995. I teach all levels from beginner to professional in all styles including double bass drums. My specialty is jazz which includes boogie woogie, swing, big band, bebop, cool jazz, avant garde, fusion, afro-cuban, and salsa. I can teach basically any style you are interested in if you show me exactly the song or genre you are working on. We can perfect your fundamentals or take you to the next level of improvisation.

I have been teaching privately since 2010, when I accepted a position as a teaching assistant at Bowling Green State University.

I enjoy working with students of all ages and levels of experience, as they all bring something unique to their lessons and allow me to bring out aspects of my personality that will engage them best.

Each student learns differently and I accommodate and tailor my lessons accordingly. Percussion beginners will build their foundation on the standard snare drum rudiments and Moeller technique. So will the professionals. Beginner guitar students will focus on tuning the instrument, basic chords, scales and playing techniques. Read More
