Instruments:
I am a 4-time Grammy nominated Music Educator and Progressive Rock Hall of Fame inductee. I have performed with notable acts like Three 6 Mafia, Oran "Juice" Jones, Kreator, Anthrax, and Lady Gaga. I have been featured in Guitar World, Revolver Magazine, Pure Grain Audio, and Relics Magazine. I have been a panelist for SXSW '12, '13, and '14. I am an alumnus from the Berklee College of Music, and am currently a film scorer at Warner Bros. Records and the guitarist for international touring band Seek Irony, from Tel Aviv, Israel. I proudly endorse Ernie Ball, Ernie Ball Music Man, Orion Guitar Gear, Lugville, and Mogami Cables. I have been teaching music professionally for over ten years.
Instruments:
I'm a dedicated, passionated and motivated musician who loves teaching and working with students of all ages. I started drumming in 2008 and it was instanteously life changing. I've dedicated towards shifting my enitre life into the musical arts and drumming. Last year was a milestone in reaching that dream as I transitioned into teaching my own drumming class and I traveled all across the country learning the business side of music as well. I regularly play with my band 3-4 times a week and can offer practical advice on how to get started playing gigs in addition to musical instruction. I've worked stages all over the country including the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles where they hold the after party for the Grammys. I wish to share my passion for music and one day build my own drumming school that will target helping those who cannot afford instruments and enabling them to play.
Instruments:
For beginning students who are children, I like to start with Hal Leanard's Rubank Elementary Method Cornet/Trumpet. If a student has a grasp of the fundamentals, I work with the basic blues and scales to build a repetoire. For Adults, I like to work with jazz standards as well as H.L. Clarke's Technical Studies for Cornet and Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet. I like to make my lessons fun and engaging.
Instruments:
I love helping my students set short- and long-term goals for themselves and instilling a practice log to achieve those goals! Each voice student has different goals for themselves - whether it's gaining the confidence to sing in their church choir or pave their path to stardom, I take these goals into account each moment of our time together. I use visual learning, kinesthetic learning techniques, and solfege as learning tools, so it’s a more hands-on environment. I encourage open and honest communication with my student (and their parents, if they’re children) to cater to their interests and goals!
Instruments:
For beginner students I like to keep to the fundamental elements of Jazz and Rock grooves while focusing on various time signatures. Another key practice we will always be refining on are the rudiments. This will keep those chops sharp for direct accuracy and speed. For my more advanced students I conduct a learning program based off the students interests in styles and advancements,doing so keeps the student engaged in the lessons with room to grow. I like to acknowledge my students accomplishments and focus the areas that need more time than others.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
