My favorate way to start a teacher student relationship is to have the student just sit on the drums and let loose for me.

My overall goal is to build the students skills and confidence to be able to sit in and jam in any kind of situation Read More

Teaching is all about relating it to the student. Making sure the student is engaged. I adapt to the student and teach them what they want to learn.

Students don't have to tell me this- it's my job as a teacher to recognize it in each student. Read More

The approach I use to advance student learning is fun and laid back - yet direct and studious. I believe in the power of mentoring students and adults.

I like to start each student off with the fundamentals. I think the fundamentals are very important for every musician. Once you master the basics, then we can move on the solo repertoire, or start to develop each musicians individual style. I want the lessons to be both fun and engaging. So it’s important to find what kind of music each student is interested in and then develop that interest and passion. Read More
