I began teaching private lessons part-timewhen I was still in high school on Long Island. I have taught in elementary day care in the early 1990's and taught in public schools elementary general music and chorus, beginning instrumental music at the elementary level, as well as middle school orchestra in the San Lorenzo Unified School District. After a vocal chord injury, I left the public schools to create my indie record label, produce new projects and allow healing. Read More

I am an Artist who loves to see his students succeed. I have a strong passion for music, and utilize that passion and the skills I've developed throughout my career to cultivate students into fellow Artists. My primary goal as a teacher is to tap into the potential artistry of the students. For that reason, I am not as focused on the technical skills, as I am about spotlighting the inspiration that will facilitate the student to embody the Artist with original expression and purpose in their art form.

What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I recently threw a really cool house show on September 1st, having live music, DJ's, asked a few local businesses to sponsor the event and charged a $5 cover at the door. I've been working several months to book this one band from Austin and finally they got back to me and agreeded to do the show.
It was to my surprise that the lead singer found me at the party and asked me to join their band. I was so busy that night, I told him I would call him the next day.
The next day, I give him a phone call and tells me his band, SMiiLE, is going on four week national tour and asked me to come along. I asked when they were leaving and he said in two days.
The next day, I drove to Austin to have a rehearsal with them and they digged my playing and the day after, we got in the van and were off to make music across the country.
It was definitely a risking move because I didn't know any of these people, didn't know their music all too well and dropped out of school that semester. But I'm glad I did because we ended up making incredible music on the way and it was such a beautiful experience.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Consistency of the groove.
Being a drummer, you have to understand your roll is to hold it down..not solo all over the place with fills. Being mindful of the players around you and maintaining a good balance of sound is crucial.
Having a good attitude is important too. No one is going to want to work with you if you walk into the space with a lousy attitude. Music is pure energy, and if you're bringing in this mojo like you know everything or if you would rather be somewhere else..then that's not going to take you very far.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
Everyone and there mammas wants to be a drummer.
Before there was a spoken language, cavemen would communicate with each other by banging on their chest and hitting things together.
Ever since I was in elementary, I was always tapping my hands or pencils on the desk because I couldn't help it. I needed to be heard. My parents got me the video game "Rock Band" when it came out and I learned a lot of basic rock rhythms through there and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
I simply wanted to get better and wanted to be the best. So I practiced, a lot.
