Instruments:
I started playing at about the age of three. My father was a drummer who played semi-professionally part time. I would accompany him to rehearsals and gigs. I would occasionally sub for him starting at the age of six or seven. He also coached the school band that I played in. Once out of high school, I studied with Henry Adler,who authored Buddy Rich's snare drum book, and then jazz and big band drummer Sonny Igoe. Although I was already gigging, I was very much interested in Big band, Jazz, and Fusion and wanted to sharpen my skills in reading charts and improvisation. I could not have asked for a better teacher than Sonny, who I consider my mentor. During these years of study I was gigging and recording with everyone I could. I studied music theory, guitar, and piano with several of the fine musicians I met along the way. Since then my on the job training has spread across all styles of music; rock, blues, jazz, fusion, theater, and playing with a number of big bands, including several years of touring. I also ran my own band for several years, as well as writing and arranging for other artists.
Instruments:
Music is my life and teaching drums and percussion is something I live for. I love sharing my passion with the rest of the world. I have been playing drums since I was 5 years old and teaching privately since my high school days. I have travelled internationally with prestigious groups such as the Children of Uganda, Spirit of Uganda, Richland Percussion Group and Santa Fe University of Art and Design's Contemporary Music Program. I have been there, done it and taught it to thousands of people that share the same passion as I do.
Instruments:
I am a highly motivated, well-qualified music educators with experience ranging from private lesson instruction to teaching in public schools, grades K-12. I currently teach private lessons on drumset and percussion instruments (marimba, timpani, snare drum, marching percussion), and have directed middle and high school concert bands, steel drum bands, percussion ensembles, and drumlines.
Instruments:
I'm a great muscian that loves to have fun while I'm teaching. I can teach the fundamentals as well as developing the skills of listening. I can elaborate later. I can also help with songs you want to learn that might me a challenge for you. I know gospel, contemporary, R&B, jazz, and hiphop. I can help you also develop your own type of style. I will work with you. I went to Prairie View A&M Univ. and I was a part of their Marching Band, The Marching Storm. I played trumpet and french horn. But my #1 instrument is the piano.
Instruments:
I have a classical background with percussion training. Now I am a few years out of college, ready to pass on my knowledge to eager students ready to learn. I have taught off and on for the past four years, with my students being anywhere from 6 to 60. I started privately with only one student, and that grew to several at the same time. I then started teaching at Guitar Center and my teaching career really took off. I hope to grow my clientele and build a studio of my own so I can one day teach from home.
