I absolutely love getting students really excited about their instrument. I like to show videos of high level playing and introduce a wide variety of genres and styles while I find exactly what it is that inspires the student to play.

I really try to get my students playing along with tracks so they can hear how drums sound in a band setting and apply it to their playing! Read More

Keeping music simple and keep the basics. After I see improvements and memorizing scales, chords or the last lesson we will move to the next lesson. Perfection comes with practice and enjoying playing your instrument. For my in person courses I do like to offer some recording time to show feedback to show my student how far they have come.
