Music Performance Certificate, Dutchess Community College
Drum Tech for Jessica Simpson Band 2007-2008
I teach all ages and skill levels, from drumpad to drumset. No matter how young the student is, learning how to play an instrument and read music is invaluable. I help my younger students prepare for middle school and high school level orchestra, and my older students for college music auditions and solo pieces. With my adult students I help them schedule music in their busy lives. There is no reason to put off playing an instrument if it's something you always wanted to do. A lot of my adult students commute to NYC and work long hours. So whether you work full-time, have a busy college schedule or commute to work, I'll help you build a practice schedule around your busy life.
I teach many styles of playing such as Rock, Metal, Jazz, Latin, and Funk. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced drummer, I have much valuable knowledge to share. Many of my students concentrate on School Band/NYSSMA, while others are solely interested in playing the drum set and forming a band. I also have students that concentrate on live performances including, Orchestra and Solo Projects as well as High School/College Solo Pieces. I teach vital exercises, rudiments and coordination to build technique, whether it's on a marching snare or on the drum set. I also utilize many of the top instructional books - so get ready to improve your sight reading! There is so much more to taking a drum lesson than just learning how to play a beat in a song. I will instruct and guide you weekly to help you build a solid foundation. Some of my top students have taken lessons with me for close to 8 years now and they are able to play music they never imagined possible. If you're ready to put in the time and study, I will teach you the information and techniques to become your best.
