Instruments: Piano Drums Recorder Orchestral Percussion

I teach students how to play, as well as, read music.  I teach a variety of techniques and styles of music using books and making up lessons for my students.  I teach my students at any age how to play the set, along with snare drum techniques, and play with songs. For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Vic Firth books. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce more complicated styles and techniques that are appropriate for their ability. Read More

I firmly believe in starting with the basics of singing for younger students, however they should have fun as well as learn.

As the students get older, I attempt to have them sing in multiple genres and languages, as to broaden their experience and see what they like. Read More

Additionally, I encourage students to actively listen to recordings of pieces they are learning, fostering the development of their musical ear and interpretation skills.
