I am a strong believer that students should learn how to read music, they should learn proper technique, and that they should maintain a regular practice schedule. Lessons are geared towards the individual student's abilities and interests. I draw from a wide variety of teaching resources and authors, such as Joel Rothman, Jim Chapin, Rick Latham, Frank Briggs, Carmine Appice, George Stone, Charlie Wilcoxen, David Garibaldi, Rick Dior, Les DeMerle.

From beginner to advanced, I offer the same level of quality and musical diversity for everyone, while making the necessary accomodations for each individual student. From the very beginning of our lessons, I constantly immerse the student in a myriad of musical styles as it relates to percussion and rhythm in general. Just as a physical trainer uses the method of muscle confusion in the client's workout, I try to "shock" the brain by introducing a number of different styles and techniques. Read More
