Private lessons are a great way to give your musician a fast-track to success! I design each lesson plan tailored to the students' individual needs. Progress is the key component for the pacing of each lesson. The goals set during and between every lesson are realistic and obtainable within a reasonable time frame. It's important for students to feel successful to ensure an enjoyable experience with music as well as motivating them towards future accomplishments. Read More

I've even continued my percussion studies while in Cincinnati, studying with James Culley of the world-famous Percussion Group Cincinnati. Education has been very important to me - not just my own, but that of others as well.

For students that like to uses books I like to use the Hal Leonard Method books for Guitar, Bass, Banjo, and Ukulele and the Alfred Method books for Piano and Drums. Read More
