Instruments: Drums

I am an enthusiastic and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my passion of music with them. I have been playing the drums and other percussion instruments since I was twelve years old. Over the past ten years I've had the privilege to play in several bands which has allowed me to play with various musicians from multiple backgrounds . My love music starts at the drums, and then expands outward towards percussion, audio engineering, and video setup. Read More

My mother always loved to remind me how, when I was just two years old, I used to grab the Tupperware out of the cabinet and a couple of wooden spoons and pretend I was playing drumsevery day. I still dont know where my love for the drums came from, but that passion has been with me my entire life. At the ripe young age of 9, I finally got my first drum kit and started taking lessons.

I create my own lesson plans (and some materials) specific to each student. Some standard books I use are Alfred's Drum Method book 1, The New Breed, Portraits in Rhythm, The Drummer's Complete Vocabulary to name a few. The books are necessary for developing music literacy, however I remind students that the pages don't make sound!!! Developing a discerning ear is paramount in my approach. Therefore we do a lot of listening and I engage students in dialogue for them to develop a personalized mental image of what they are trying to play. Read More

Because the only thing that is holding you back is the way you're thinking. Read More

What's important to me is that by the end of the day, they have learned something new, regardless of what it is. I maintain the pace of the students and I will make sure that they're learning at a comfortable rate. Usually I'll make sure that the goal for the lesson is obtainable and we can achieve. Then during the lesson we work through to reach that goal, and depending on the progress will then determine the pace of the next lesson. Read More
