Instruments:
I began teaching in 2008, shortly after beginning my studies at the University of Washington. My private students have ranged from total beginners to advanced, each one presenting a unique set of interests and abilities to work with. In addition to teaching my own students, I have much experience as a substitute percussion teacher at Northshore Junior High School (Kingsgate, WA) and Spotlight Studios (Woodinville, WA). I have also presented many clinics and workshops at local schools including Garfield High School, Edmonds-Woodway High School, Ballard High School, Eckstein Middle School, and Holy Names Academy, as well as for Seattle JazzED. For these, the topics covered have ranged from free improvisation to straight-ahead and big band jazz.
Instruments:
I have been playing drums since I was twelve years old and have performed in many rock and jazz bands. I studied music in college and graduated with a Master of Music Degree in Percussion Performance from San Francisco State University in 1992. Since then I have continued to perform in local rock, jazz and blues groups as well performing with the Berkeley Symphony, The Santa Rosa Symphony and others.
Instruments:
For children ages 4-7 I start with Dogs and Birds Animal Notes Edition from the UK. As they progress, I introduce them to the Primer Faber Series books. Adults begin with Faber series and I incorporate Hanon Virtuoso exercises as they progress. For children guitar they will begin with Alfred's Kids Guitar Course and Hal Leonard studies. Adult guitar will begin with Hal Leonard and William Leavitt studies. I provide material about composers and music studies from Thompson, Michael Aaron, Bastien and other books.
Instruments:
I am a performer and composer with my Bachelor's in Music from The Boston Conservatory. I have performed flute and guitar in a variety of musical settings from orchestras, theater pits, rock bands, and jazz ensembles. I love working with students of all ages and skill levels and try to encourage an open attitude towards learning different types of music. Currently I have experience teaching beginner ukulele, electric guitar and flute. I am currently in an electro-pop band and have experience and knowledge to give regarding DAW/Electronic Music programs including Fruity Loops Studio and Ableton Live 9.
Instruments:
My teaching method is very flexible, as I am very cogniscent that students learning styles and goals vary greatly. I am a patient teacher who will work to help put a student in a position to be successful and achieve his or her goals through lesson plans and teaching methods tailored to meet the student's learning style. Seeing students succeed and have fun making progress and improving as a musician brings me a lot of joy!

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.
