Instruments: Guitar Drums

I draw from a wealth of numerous musical resources. I believe in facilitating healthy technique as it is the foundation of the physical aspect of playing.

Having said that, possibly an even more pressing skill would be to be equppied, physically and intelectually, to play along with an impromtu music session, or "jam."

Everyone starts off at a different place, so I mold the process to fit the certain student in a way that helps them improve at their own pace.

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons 8 years ago.

Also, as I am constantly learning from my teachers, peers and from listening to all kinds of music teaching almost comes as second nature to me. Read More
