I taught for a few months, when I was approached by two different women, one who wanted me to perform cover songs at the retirement facility that she managed, and another who wanted me to give her husband private music lessons. I performed for a few years during college, but stopped teaching after my only student moved away. Read More

I like to find a way to relate. Read More

I first began giving lessons briefly after I graduated from Du Quoin highschool in 2009, where I played snare drum as a Marching Indian!

All program students are assigned a daily routine to complete, song to perform, and focus exercise. For single lessons, I perform an inventory of skills, supplementary lesson, and assessment for an improvement plan.

For more advanced students, consideration is given for playing goals, projects, performances, etc. Read More
