A student will never practice if they're not having fun, and they won't have fun if they're being pushed harder than they want to be pushed. Therefore, when I start with a student, I always ask how much they want to improve and how quickly, how important music is to them, and how much time they're willing to invest daily. We continue on the student's pace, and find the most efficient and fun way to get the student's goals. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was in high school, as I began teaching private lessons 5 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio. Like people have fitness plans to achieve their goals, I like to create a learning plan with the student. This ensures that the students know the direction they are going in and can make the most of every lesson. Fun and learning are connected in my lessons, when the student is able to play that cool fill because of that rudiment they just learnt a minute ago, they get a motivation boost. Read More

I am very happy to have finally moved to LA for a new exciting challenge and chapter of life. Read More

I am a genuine lover of music and self-expression who wants to show others that no matter how hard it may seem or whats going on that you can learn music and use it a tool to move forward in life. I've been playing the drum kit since the age of 5 and continued well into my adult life. I attended the Musicians Institute of Hollywood to learn more about playing and it has since then propelled my playing. Read More

For as long as I can remember, music his been my passion. I began playing drums when I was six years old, and began performing around my hometown of Denver in rock bands at 13. Along the way, I also picked up guitar, allowing me to explore harmonic and melodic aspects of music that drumming didn't provide. In high school, I joined the drumline, where I worked intensely on my technique and speed, while simultaneously playing original music in bands around town. Read More

Teaching style could easily be summaried and paraphrased with my above stated pedagogy! Teaching style changes from student to teacher. I enjoy trying to decipher what the student enjoys hearing, wants to learn, prior knowledge, and desires are. These help in my search to find the perfect style at which the student understands and enjoys the task at hand.  Read More
