I feel that one of the most important aspects of music that is often overlooked, is that music should be fun. Because of this, I try to keep my lessons focused on material that really excites a student. I believe that its very important to introduce a student to a wide variety of music to help them identify what really inspires them. Once a student has discovered an aspect of music that they're truly passionate about, then they are almost much more motivated to put in the practice to master that aspect of music. Read More

I'm a highly passionate music teacher who loves with working with students off all different ages.

Many self taught drummers learn bad habits which become very difficult to break as they get older. We will break these habits if needed. For the beginner, we will spend the first two or three lessons working on proper grip and motion. Once that is mastered, we will use the Maroni book and use the first page of Stick Control. I would like to supplement that with a John Wooton play along book which takes the boredom out of Stick Control. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! I find it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace.

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Throughout the learning process, I believe it is important to practice and study music in an empowering way, so I want to learn about my students in order to help them practice music in an empowering way that intersects with their lives and understanding of the world around them.
