My methodology is inspired by the Suzuki method, which believes that learning music is similar to how humans learn to speak first, and write later. In the end, music is a type of language. Having said that, I always have a conversation with my students, and/or their parents, to learn what artists they listen to, what their favorite songs are and what goals they want to achieve. As a result, my lessons are catered distinctively to each unique student, but what they all have in common will be a passion for music! Read More

My main philosophies when it comes to teaching are as follows: 1) No two students are the same, and every student is going to have unique strengths that can be exploited and expanded upon 2) Without a strong grasp of fundamental technique, timing, and stick control, progress into more advanced concepts becomes very difficult 3) Music is supposed to be FUN! If the musician doesn't feel good while playing or performing, then it isn't being done correctly. Read More
