Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Music Electric Guitar
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

Being able to teach others and share my knowledge is what drives me, so I like to see progress. I have a goal-oriented approach that differs depending on the individual, but the results are always there. I love feeling the satisfaction of a student learning. Not to mention the relationships that are built and how much I learn from them in turn! It truly is a give and take relationship, just another individual sharing experience and knowledge. Read More

I began teaching when I moved to Wisconsin in 1990. I had twelve students I taught at the Music Go Round studio and three students I taught in their home. I attended West Texas State University (now AM) in Canyon Texas from 1981 - 1983. In 1983, I decided to pursue a professional music career and tour with bands. After moving to Nashville in 1986, I was quickly humbled by the amazing talent out there and kickstarted my education again. 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: Drums
Hello! I am a 22-year-old drummer and graduate of Belmont University's School of Music. I've been playing drums for the last 12 years all while playing local shows, touring, and teaching others how to do the same thing. I'm originally from a small town in rural southern Minnesota where I was in the marching band, jazz bands, and choirs as well as playing in a touring band with my friends. While I lived in Minnesota I also attended music camps at McNally Smith and Berklee College of Music. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Hi! I'm a professional drummer who loves to teach the tools of the trade to anyone interested and willing to learn. My passion for music began at a very young age, and I started playing drums when I was 14. I attended the one of the top rated music schools in the country, Berklee College of Music, and graduated with a degree in Drum Set Performance. I've had the opportunity to travel overseas and share my work with huge audiences, in many different genres of music. Read More

Im an experienced and accomplished musician, and I love sharing my love of music with students. Ive greatly enjoyed many opportunities to perform and teach music over the years. Some of my greatest experiences have included touring with bands I idolized growing up, writing music and seeing it all the way through to recording and publishing, and seeing students glowing at recitals after playing their favorite song or classical piece.

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.
