I have a Master of Music Performance degree from Valdosta State University where I served as Graduate Assistant. I instructed the Marching Band drum line and steel drum band and performed with practically every ensemble the university offered. I have taught privately for over 15 years with students' ages ranging 5 to adult. I taught High School at Northview High School in Johns Creek GA, Middle School at Dekalb PATH Academy in Atlanta GA and at LaGrange College in LaGrange GA. I can be heard on iTunes playing with Kayla Taylor Jazz, Jeremy Aggers, and Golden.

Percussion in a huge family of instruments. As a percussionist, you might be ask to play drum set one night, congas the next, and triangle the night after that! Over time, I have collected many methods for all the different instruments and styles that the percussionfamily  encompasses. Depending on what you want to learn, I have a method or we can tailor something just for you.
