Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Drums Organ Latin Percussion
I began by tutoring my fellow students during college. Little by little, I realized that I was becoming more passionate about seeing the students progress and achieve the goals they set for themselves. There is almost no greater feeling than accomplishing a goal, and even though I always acknowledge and encourage students on their accomplishments, I believe there's always another step to take, another skill to master. I also believe, especially with beginners, that rooting a students skill with the bare basics is essential to understanding music. Read More

Generally speaking if you are a beginner regardless of age, we will be exploring the basis of composition and connecting with music or finding a groove. You will be instructed on the importance of warming up, and how to create a personalized warm up routine, you will gain knowledge of rudiments and other various drumming exercises, sight reading, and most importantly proper technique. Generally if you are more advanced we go into dynamics, performance training, more advanced sight reading and technique discipline, exploration of various genres and styles, ostinatos, advanced interdependence exercises, and a multitude of other tools that will help further your individual growth, solos and creative expression.

It's very rewarding and exciting to see students excel in the performing arts and grow a love for music. Setting goals, paces and challenges are key concepts for my students at each lesson.

Nothing is more rewarding that seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Keep it so that there is always something to do and improve on. There is ALWAYS something to do (practice wise) but this might not always be apparent.
My best advice for practicing (that works with me) is to start with floating your ego. Play and mess around with everything you're good at to warm up and get the jitters out of your system so that you can sit down and practice functionally.
After this, work on whatever gives you the most trouble. Whether its something your instructor provided, something you heard and want to learn or even a cool lick. Sit down and painstakingly figure it out. (you will, it just takes proper time and effort)
After that, go over everything you just worked on and anything else with a metronome. Displace beats or cut out whole measures (on the met) in the process to broaden your sense of internal time.
There are many other things one can do to practice effectively, but i find myself utilizing these three methods the most.
Hit the shed!
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The most important thing is to gauge their maturity. There are two year olds that have the mental capacity to start learning an instrument and get better! But this is not every child. If you feel that your child has a passion for music and they talk about it all the time, then lessons are a must! But to get anything out of these lessons your child must be willing to learn and practice. I would say to start lessons with your child regardless. But if you see that nothing is being gained and that you are essentially wasting money, it is probably best to put it off a couple years.
When will I start to see results?
Music lessons are a perfect example of getting what you give. Instructors can set you or your child up with the keys to success. But we cannot play the instrument for them, we are merely a toolbox for their passion. If a student wants to get better, then it is their responsibility to practice accordingly. If there is a poor instructor, then that is another culprit for not seeing results. But given the right instructor with the drive to get better and practice. The question is not if results will show, it is when.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I fell in love with drums at first sight. I could not get past the joy of being around them and the need to hop behind a kit when its present. Determining your primary instrument is like a perfect storm. There are musicians that i know who are technically way better at another instrument, but have the desire to play their primary instrument less than the instrument they actually love. That is why choosing your primary instrument is like a perfect storm. Go after the instrument that you love, not the one that you had to play, because your love with the instrument create the technical prowess that you desire.
