During my time teaching at Victor Litz Music, where I taught for 12 years, I was lucky to work with one student who had severe dyslexia.

I began teaching early into my drumming studies when my teacher asked me to fill in when he wasn’t available. That made it easy for me to relate to my students and my love of teaching grew alongside my love of drumming. I have studied the drums with William Lyons, Mark Schulman (Pink, Foreigner), and Zoro (Lenny Kravitz, New Edition). I have toured and recorded with a variety of bands and won the “Electronica Drummer of The Year” at the L.A. Read More

There is no single method that fits every student. We all absorb and process new concepts differently some are visual learners, some rely on physical and muscle memory, others have a natural sense of rhythm or strong analytical skills. Each student deserves an approach tailored to the way they learn best. For me, every new student is a new creative journey. Together, we explore the fundamental concepts that allow us to speak the language of music, using the methods that resonate most with them. Read More

When I receive a new student the first thing I do is assess where they are technically and what their interests are. From there I develop custom lesson plans that are design to improve a certain technique while learning new music.
