With a lifelong passion for rhythm and a dedication to musical excellence, I have been captivating audiences and perfecting my drumming skills since the tender age of five. My musical journey began with the snare drum, and I quickly developed a proficiency that allowed me to perform in front of audiences as early as fifth grade. Throughout middle and high school, I honed my abilities on a variety of percussion instruments, including the snare, bass, and quads, as a valued member of my school's band programs. Read More

I love the reward I get from seeing my students progress ! Whether it's getting through a tough snare drum solo , mastering a marching band audition piece or helping them with a cover tune on their drumset ( or even suggesting parts and ideas for an original song ) I believe this promotes confidence in a student's music ability. I've had the good fortune of seeing my students recieve scholarships to college music programs, become 1st chair snare drummers in high school marching bands and even go to the local club to watch their band perform.
