Instruments: Drums

My musical experience dates back to 1997 when I first had the opportunity to start playing the snare drum in my middle school band program. It was a great way for me to feel better about my school day and highlighted the common interests I had with my classmates. A few years later I wanted a drum set and started a band with my school mates to showcase songs like, "wipe out" and "all the small things" ( a pop/punk song from blink 182 in 1999) at the school talent show.

I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the piano and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More
