Instruments: Drums
My methods are straight forward. I focus on developing or improving fundementals such as rudiments and then applying them to the drum-set. Everyone starts off at a different place, so I mold the process to fit the certain student in a way that helps them improve at their own pace. I mainly focus on rudiments, groove, and how to be a versitile drummer in order to get gigs. Read More

My path as an educator began during my time studying history and philosphy in New Orleans, LA. I was playing live music almost six nights a week, and started helping out as an assistent at Tipitina's Sunday Workshop for young musicians. There I helped and watched the great Johnny Vidacovich teach young aspiring musicians the art of playing in an ensemble. While at Berklee College of Music I have helped teach in classrooms and clinics alongside many of the world's greatest musicians, including John Patitucci, Steve Bailey, Joanne Brackeen, Vadim Neselovsky, Carol Robbins, and Alain Mallet.

Instruments: Guitar Drums
I have taught guitar, drums and music on and off over the past 30 years. From children to seniors and ages in between, I say practice makes perfect! As a teacher I encourage my students to progress. I learned so much from my great teachers, I experienced being a student myself! I am learning all the time. As a student I learned a lot, so in turn I enjoy teaching what I have learned. Read More
Instruments: Drums Conga Latin Percussion
Although I knew from the get go that there was a certain level of intimacy between me and the drum set, the private lessons only lasted a few weeks. My five year old mind was a bit too scattered to maintain focus, although I continued to mess around on the kit sporadically over the course of the following seven years. When I returned to the drums at age twelve, the grooves and rhythms that had been developing in my subconscious took little time to translate to my limbs, and I knew from that point on that this was my thing this was something that I would never be able to get enough of.

I have played in venues from small coffee houses to The Paramount in Huntington, NY. I have played in many groups and ensembles as a premier performer and, of course, as part of the "tutti". I have studied under Micheal Bellajonas at Suffolk County Community College and Jerry Willard at Stony Brook University in my classical guitar studies. I maintain a violin/guitar duet with my wife, who is on her way to becoming a music educator. I've taught all different types of students and am very open and patient to everyone's needs. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
- My music degree is in music production and music business. There reasons why i chose those two are very simple. In any art, theres a performance side, and a business side. The reason for both of those, is because thats how we’re abl to negotiate different deals, and keep the business growing and expanding.
As far as music business goes, its important to know the little ins and outs of the industry that we’re in.
For music production, there are many avenues that one can take to become an active music producer. Having taken courses for music production, it gives me an insight to many different areas of the production side of music, and lets me understand the capabilities thag it can bring.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
- Normal practice for me, is pluging in headphones, and playing to records, while implemening different ideas.
I got this routine from my peers at Berklee College of music. What this does for us is, it creates an atmosphere of what music should sound like when playing live. It also allows drummers to build a great foundation for time, and pocket presence.
There will come a time when many of us should be in tune with how and what we play, and for when we play it. Its crucial that these things are often remembered and put to use.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
- In my opinion, the hardest thing to master on my instrument is, finding your identity.
Being abke to have a sound that you like and that you can relate too, is one of the most important things for a musician.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
- In beginning stages, I use a freeform style of teaching. Its where we get the oppurtunity to understand what the student can and ir cannot skdo.
From there, we work on the desired area of interest for the student(s) and begin to develop their feel, style, pocket, ear, and sight-reading (aka, fundamentals).
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
- You will known if your child is ready to begin, simply by understanding their interest in music. If you see that they are very intrigued and have a strong liking for something, than thats when you can see that they may be interested in taking that fascination further.
When will I start to see results?
- You will start to see results, as wuickly as the same day. Many people think that learning is slow and tedious (which it can be at times.) However, with music, little progress is better than no progress. The results can be small or seem minute at times, but thise are where you learn the fundamentals.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
- Yes. I did. His name is, Nate Barnes.
- He inspired me simply because, my first time meeting him was my first time hearing an industry professional, play drums live. Not to mention, he’s a blind drummer.
