Teaching music is more than an income to me. Drumming has opened doors in my life I never imagined. Understanding music has pushed my drumming further away from being merely a mechanical exercise to full transcendental experience. Playing music from the heart with the know-how to conceptualize and quantify it lends itself to limitless potential for improvement, enjoyment, and sustained participation in music. Sharing the joy of music with the next generation of musicians is what motivates me. Serving as a tool for the empowerment, encouragement, development, and flourishing of student musicians is my goal.

I utilize customized lesson material to offer each student the optimized learning opportunity. As a student with me you will count and subdivide music while playing and reading drum notation starting slowly and increasing speed gradually. The attacks will be demarcated in the following manner (For ex. first, snare and bass drum together, then snare by itself, etc.).

For in person lessons a metronome and/or recorded music will be used to practice syncing with others. * Copies of lesson material available at no additional fee
