Music has no limits...music is everything and...everything is music ! Although i am mostly a rock drummer, my influences and most of my students they were in that "rock side".

At the end of the day we're here to make sure the student learns the instrument and progresses towards their ultimate goal. I am very much letting the student take the lessons at their own pace and not rushing them through anything. Nothing is worse than having to go back and correct a bad habit years later because of a rushed lesson! I focus on making sure the student truly understands the lesson and can apply it practically.

I have a bigger passion in coaching students not to just copy another persons style or to simply learn exactly how a drum part goes. Read More

After gaining a full schedule of students, I decided to initiate semester recitals to allow students the opportunity to perform in front of an audience. It is one of my favorite memories as an instructor! The pride on a student's face after they've demonstrated something at which they've worked so hard is the ultimate reward of teaching. After completing my teaching degree at Texas State University and accepting a full-time position, I devoted myself to my new career and no longer taught music lessons. Read More
