Many self taught drummers learn bad habits which become very difficult to break as they get older. We will break these habits if needed. For the beginner, we will spend the first two or three lessons working on proper grip and motion. Once that is mastered, we will use the Maroni book and use the first page of Stick Control. I would like to supplement that with a John Wooton play along book which takes the boredom out of Stick Control. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums
I believe music is one of the most important things you can have in life. Guitar is the instrument that I feel most connected to. I started playing about six years ago, but playing music has been a part of my life going back 16 years, when I was learning drumset. I've also become quite fluent with piano. As a songwriter, I use all three instruments to express myself in different ways. Read More

Playing with other musicians and performing is my favorite thing to do in the whole world and I have been doing it professionally since 2012. I graduated Magnum Cum Laude from Slippery Rock University in 2018 and then was hired by Princess Cruises. I traveled the world performing every night for a year until 2019 pandemic and just recently moved to Nashville, TN. In addition to collegiate education, I have extensively studied Brazilian percussion, Irish Bodhran, and Cuban percussion by taking private lessons with masters in each field. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Everyone's learning style is different. Part of being a great teacher is the ability to see what each student needs in order to feel inspired. Music is my passion and my goal is to make everyone feel accomplishment with what they play no matter their level. I'm glad that my students have chosen to play the drums. I take pride in laying a solid foundation with proper technique for them to build from. Read More
Instruments: Voice Drums
Teaching began for me in high school when I helped lead our school's all male a cappella group. I did an arrangement here and there but mostly led warm-ups and conducted most of the performances. This carried over into my college career by conducting the various choirs across campus as well as receiving a conducting scholarship. As the snowball rolled, I was chosen for bigger events through the United Church of Christ. Read More
Instruments: Guitar Drums
I am enthusiastic about teaching others both how to play and understand the art of music. In 2009 I graduated from North Central University where I truly fell in live with music and gained a passion for learning and performing through both my education and the rich Fine Arts culture in the city of Minneapolis where I studied. Since graduating, performing professionally has been a wonderful experience and tantamount to my ongoing growth as a musician. Read More

For beginners, I usually start with teaching you basic technique on the instrument. For example, how to hold the instrument, notes on the fretboard, how to count and play at the same time, etc. Once the student progresses, I begin to teach you more intermediate techniques, music theory, ear training, and learning songs. For advanced students, I try and give more in-depth material to be able to play the music that you love to play. Read More

When will I start to see results?
It really depends on the student, their interest level, their age range, and most importantly their practice routine. Different people have different natural talents. That's not to say the most important skills on any instrument aren't learned through training and practice, but rather that some things like perfect pitch or a natural affinity for dictation, "good ears" so to say can't help anyone with a genuine interest develop quicker then their counter part. The most important thing I think in terms of developing results is the students interest level which will then directly effect their practice routine. A player who is truly passionate will develop the quickest because they'll put more time into the instrument. Some students only truly care to be casual players and will then develop at a casual rate based on their own comfort level. Students who arn't truly interested and don't want to learn will struggle to develop at all. Younger students may also develop slower then older students although full adults can often be hindered in development by their busy schedules.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
You can't force an interest in music. If children are ready to take music lessons they will let you know. It's definitely worth asking them if they start to express curiosity about music because it is important to nurture that interest. However, the best and most successful players I've know are the ones who really want to play. Otherwise I think early adolescence between 10 and 12 is probably the best age range. I started playing when I was twelve and could just barely grasp the concepts at the time necessary to progress. Younger students might struggle to find the focus and finger strength especially to really progress at an effective rate.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
My best advice for practicing effectively is to do so frequently. Practicing for say three hours one day and then taking the next four days off doesn't work nearly as well for development as practicing 30-45 minutes each of those days would. Much like studying for a test, when we cram that much information our brains can't really process it all. However when we develop consistent practice routines it's easy to develop concepts over multiple sessions by compounding practice day after day. Shorter more regular practice sessions are less exhausting and easier to digest while keeping students from becoming frustrated by allowing them to track their progress day by day.
