My teaching experience began as a college student.

Instruments: Piano Saxophone Clarinet Music
Playing music is fun! Lessons should reflect that. One of the things I learned in my studies was to hold my students to their own standard of excellence instead of trying to have them meet my own. In addition to all of the technical aspects of playing an instrument, the greatest asset a musician has is their musical concept of sound. I highly encourage all of my students to listen to the greatest players of their respective instruments. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Aside from Faber and Alfred, I also have Bastien method books that I have taught from during my decade of piano teaching experience. Of course, these aren't the only method books I have come to uncover. As for voice, I have a set of vocal warm up scales from major and minor scales and patterns that my own former voice teacher has provided me. I am very familiar with all the warm up techniques as well as breathing and how warming up techniques need to closely connect with the breathing. Read More

Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
Marlon, your initial drum teacher from the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, instilled in you a fundamental principle that would shape your entire drumming journey: timing is everything. He emphasized that before mastering intricate rhythms or complex techniques, a drummer must first develop an impeccable sense of time. This foundation would serve as the bedrock upon which all other skills would be built.
Marlon's approach went beyond simply keeping a steady beat. He taught me to internalize rhythm, to feel the pulse of the music in my core. This deep understanding of timing allowed me to:
Develop rock-solid precision: I learned to lock in with other musicians seamlessly, creating a tight and cohesive groove.
Explore rhythmic nuances: I became attuned to the subtle variations in timing that give music its character and feel.
Master different styles: With a strong foundation in timing, I was able to adapt to the unique rhythmic demands of various genres.
But Marlon's teaching extended beyond technical proficiency. He immersed me in the rich history and cultural context of different drumming styles. He explained the origins and purpose of each genre, from the driving rhythms of rock and roll to the intricate polyrhythms of Afro-Cuban music. This knowledge deepened my appreciation for the instrument and broadened my musical horizons.
In essence, Marlon's teaching provided me with the tools and inspiration to forge my own path as a drummer.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It seems the drums chose me long before I consciously chose them. My earliest memories, as far back as age two, are filled with the rhythmic clanging of pots and pans, my makeshift drum set echoing through the house. This innate drive to create rhythm, to explore the percussive possibilities of my surroundings, was an undeniable force from the very beginning.
My older sister played a pivotal role in shaping my musical journey. She was my first rock and roll guru, introducing me to the iconic sounds of Kiss, Van Halen, and even the country twang of Eddie Rabbit. Her passion for music was infectious, and I eagerly absorbed everything she shared. Watching her play guitar ignited a fire within me, a desire to not just listen to music, but to create it myself.
By age eight, I was already channeling my inner Alex Van Halen, replicating his thunderous drum parts on the living room floor with pillows and blankets as my makeshift kit. My sister's influence extended beyond introducing me to specific bands; she instilled in me a deep love for all styles of music. This eclectic exposure broadened my musical horizons and fueled my desire to explore the rhythmic tapestry of diverse genres.
It was this early immersion in music, combined with my innate rhythmic drive, that led me to the drums. The instrument felt like a natural extension of myself, a way to channel my energy and express my creativity. The drums didn't just become an instrument; they became a part of me, an essential tool for self-expression and a lifelong passion.
