“Music is one of the most important parts in my life, it can raise someone's mood, get them excited, or make them calm and relaxed. I like teaching people instruments and involve more and more people fall in love with music. Because music allows us to feel nearly or possibly all emotions that we experience in our lives. Music is powerful in many other ways that could take your feelings away.” I have a lot of experience with all ages students but especially with beginners and advanced students. Read More

My teaching experience is over 25 years. I have taught private and group lessons in my home, institutions and students homes. i enjoy teaching students who are willing to make the effort to improve and that is achieved by consistent practice. I combine the technical aspects of playing the piano with the joy of making music. For the drums I also emphasize making music.

Instruments: Guitar Bass Guitar Banjo Ukulele Mandolin Music Acoustic Guitar

Prior to starting the formal lessons with the student, I like to understand why they want to play that particular instrument and the type of music that they enjoy. I also ask them about their musical experience. For example, can they read music, did they play any prior instruments, etc. Furthermore, to monitor each students' progress, I keep a lesson sheet that records what we worked on, what has been assigned, and any pertinent notes about the lessons.

My method of working with drums and percussion is to first get a sense of what the student's goals are. These include both goals involving general drums/percussion and career/performance goals. We will then work together to form a plan to achieve them. This will include exercises tailored directly to the student's needs and desires within drums/percussion as well as overall musical standings and guiding the student to repertoire that will both be fun for them to play and will teach them more about the concepts we are working on.
