Instruments: Drums

I have been a musician for approximately 20 years I love teaching others what I have learned. I started my career as a musician in 1993 with a group call the drums of thunder in Paterson New Jersey. That was known as a blue ribbon school of perform arts. I carry with me the passion and inspiration. And I feel that it is my duty to pass on that passion and inspiration to all of my students.

For first learners I like to focus on the basic stepping stones of playing guitar as well as find more about my student in regards to their music preference as well as what they find enjoyable about learning an instrument. Learning an instrument should be fun and gratifying so it is important for a student to be happy learning rather than feel like it is a chore. Positive reinforcement gets way more results than negative reinforcement. Read More

Instruments: Voice

As I mentioned, I'm a cheerleader at heart, and I love to make my students laugh and feel good about their singing. I have been in situations myself as a voice student when I was made to feel self-conscious by my teacher or had even been close to tears in my discouragement over not understanding an instruction. No one should ever feel like, especially when doing something as vulnerable as singing. Read More
