I studied drum lessons at 12 years old and studied jazz and swing drumming early on. I was a percussion major in college then spent a few years in Austin Texas traveling with country, rock and blues bands. Have played on over 20 records. My lessons are one on one and we both play side by side each at a drum set learning and having fun. My home studio is comfortable and provides a great atmosphere for music. Read More

If there is a particular song that a student is interested in learning, I will do my best to find the music for it and if it is not available, I will transcribe a version myself.

I adapt my instructional methods uniquely to each student and the instrument that they'd like to learn. For some instruments, I refer to specific methods that I have experience in. For example, for Piano I would refer to the Suzuki method for young children, while for Euphonium/Baritone and Trombone I would refer to Alfred's Accent on Achievement series. Many students often come with their own questions or concepts that they'd like to learn, so I often integrate their ideas into my lesson plans, most often for 'ukulele and guitar. Read More
