I began as a private lesson teacher as a young college student. Over the years, I have been a percussion teacher for multiple schools from the elementary to the high school level. I have taught a class of beginner drummers to be a cohesive drumline in less than a school year. I have had many one-on-one students as well, ranging from age 3 to adults as well. My versatile experience helps guide all of my students to reach their goals as a musician and beyond! Read More

Lessons can be tailored to fit your specific needs. For younger students who need a more diciplined style of lesson, I make sure to keep them on a specific practice schedule.

In my teaching I aim to first assess where the student's skill level currently stands. I focus on being able to continuously develop a student's ear, theory knowledge, techique, and sight-reading.

My teachers from over the years would also assign me songs that I wasn't a fan of at first, but I soon learned to love from working on them. Read More

I work with students to help them establish good practicing habits. To me it is most important that the student is having fun while learning; therefore, as a part of regular instruction time we play games to learn and review material, skills, and performance techniques.
