Music Lessons in Burbank, OH

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion

I use a variety of method books for drum set, mallet percussion, and snare drum, depending on the student's level and their area of interest. I also share exercises and approaches that I have picked up over the years from teachers and other sources, and I often create exercises on the spot to address the student's unique needs. One of the primary issues that I think is important to address is developing an efficient and effective practice method. Read More

Every student is different. I understand this and use it to my advantage. Early on I will use my own methods of building coordination between the fingers and the instrument.

I have also taught many adult students and advanced students. Read More

I love teaching because I believe most, if not all, people love music and can learn to love making music. I want it to be fun for them, to keep them interested. I believe that a set of expectations on the student is required to keep them motivated, but I am never upset or disappointed if they don't practice enough. I think keeping them involved in music is the most important part, and I know that many students will not pursue a full time career in music, but music is valuable to them in so many ways. Read More

My method varies for each student since every student will learn differently. I start by assessing where a student is at in terms of skill level and what their intentions are for learning how to play drums/percussion. For younger students, I'll start with getting their coordination together so they can begin to play and be involved in the learning process. After that, I'll begin to teach fundamentals and stylistic things to get them going. Read More

Instruments: Voice

The voice keeps on growing, changing and developing throughout our lifetime. My goal is for you to express your voice and let it be heard from deep within. My aim is to be there, every single step of the way, as your ultimate support, to make your dream come true and your voice come to life. Depending on what the student’s goal is, I will work accordingly. However, my sessions will be structured in the following way: - Teaching Vocal Technique that I have mastered during my studies at Berklee - Having the student sing and perform the tunes chosen by him/her/them.
