I began teaching private lessons about 25 years ago, after I had been hired to work with the drumlines for two different high schools. My first student was in one of the drumlines that I taught, and my second student was referred to me by the band director of another school, after seeing my drumline in competition. Since then, I have taught more students than I can count. Most students have been middle and high school age, but I have had lots of fun teaching students as young as 5 years old, and adults who always wished they had learned to play the drums.I have found that the best way to motivate students is tostart by teaching themto play the kind of music they like most, and then introduce them to other styles later.Lessons are always fun, and catered to the student's needs.

It is important to always have a sense of motivation in anything we do, so my goal is to see what motivates students and use that to encourage great musicianship within all my students. I focus on giving students the tools to listen for good qualities in playing such as good tone production and accurate technique because they will go into their schools and programs being leaders. It is my hope to not only train great musicians but also great leaders to influence the sound of musicians around them. Read More
