Conversely, students who lack conviction and confidence need to listen to classic recordings to gain inspiration , drive. Read More

Music should be fun. Period!  Whatever the student's age or background, I will help them achieve their goals and have a great time in the process!   I have been teaching (private and institutions) and performing for over 20 years.  My extensive touring and professional performing background offers students a real-world perspective and continually keeps students motivated and inspired.  Recently I was Adjunct Professor of Percussion Studies at William Carey University where I managed private lessons for all percussion instruments and wrote and directed for the marching line.

All students are encouraged to practice in order to reinforce what they have previously learned. Read More

My experience of teaching music started as I recieved the opportunity to be a student teacher at an elementary school in Montgomery, Alabama. I used this time to help students become interested in learning about music through; presenting various instruments for the class to observe and using creative teaching methods that include music for an easier comprehension tool with their school work. I am also able to relate to students that are older and those who are adults. Read More

I believe making a connection with the student fuels the connection to the music. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my students develop a passion for music! it's important that each student progresses at their own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a student's desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By finding out what inspires each student, I successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Referrals are my main source of new students since they and their parents enjoy solid results from each lesson, and have fun in the process! Read More
