Nothing is more rewarding than 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 students 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. i am always open to talking about music and different styles as well as exploring them.

I have books to recommend like "Syncopation" by Ted Reed and "Realist Rock" by Carmine Appice. Read More
