I have started my own pedagogy when it comes to teaching drums but it is pretty straightforward. The first lesson is about basic technique and learning the drums and cymbals and then moving into being able to play a simple rock beat. I have done so many trial lessons at this point that I have it down to a science and I have a very good amount of kids who sign up afterwards. Read More

I have experience teaching flute and piccolo students ages 6-60, from brand new beginners to advanced high school students and beyond. I have worked with students in a variety of settings, from one on one private lessons, small group sessions, to flute sectional coaching. My primary goal is always for lessons to be a fun and positive experience at any level. While I emphasize technique and fundamentals at all levels because I believe these are essential to develop the skill required learning any instrument, I always like to end lessons with a skill appropriate duet, because the best part of music making is being able to create and share it with others.

My methods depend entirely on where the student is beginning. If the student does not play in a school setting, I will usually start with Essential Elements. If they are playing in band, I will use whatever their teacher starts with in band and progress from there. If the student has been playing for a while and no longer can use Essential Elements, I will see what music they are interested in. Read More

Likewise, I have had the opportunity to teach private lessons to multiple students throughout my career, which has allowed me to learn and adapt to various educational models in order to create an educational environment where the student feels capable of become the best version of themselves both in the artistic field and in the human field. Equally important, I consider constant motivation to be one of the most fundamental tools in my educational arsenal, which is why being able to prepare students for various competitions, auditions and festivals is extremely important because through these students can be exposed to various training models that directly benefit their training as artists.
