can teach from any book the student is interested in, but if he or she is unsure where to begin, I recommend the following. For basic snare drum technique, I teach out of "Alfred's Drum Method Book One," as well as printing out a page of all 40 essential rudiments for each student; I would teach these as the student progresses. For beginner drum set, I teach out of "Alfred's Beginning Drum Set Method," as well as playing along to songs the student picks out; this is truly the best way to improve on the instrument.

I am interested in helping others experience the joy of making music. I began playing trumpet at age 11 and went on to play and teach professionally. I reached much success in high school when I was awarded the first chair in the Alabama All-State Band. I then went on to study to be both a performer and educator in college. After graduating, I settled in Nashville, TN where I played professionally from 1979-1997 with Gaylord/Opryland Productions, Nashville, TN. Read More

I have been teaching ever since I graduated from High School and gained a more in-depth study of music at Bryan College. So far, I have led over a dozen students to at least an intermediate level of knowledge in percussion and stringed instruments. My favorite part of the teaching process is to observe a gradual development in the student's skill level after months of practice and discipline. the progression of small successes is the proof of true progress!
