For beginning students that are in middle or high school, I typically start them out learning snare drum technique, and reading rhythms. Fortechnique I will use standard exercises and rudiments, and for readingI will use "Syncopation for The Modern Drummer".If the student has a drumset then I will start them with some basic "Rock" beatsas a tool to help thembetter understand the subdivision of time, and form some independence.Most of my students move into Gary Chester's "The New Breed" as their first drumset book.After teaching for 25 years, I have developed a lot of my own lesson meterials, and I try to cater the lesson plans to both challenge the students and keep them having fun learning.

My objective as a teacher is to provide students with the knowledge to not only excel in music but to apply those skills to everyday life. Read More

He quickly gained traction and has now been on Fox News, BBC, and a couple other local news programs. Read More

It is important to me to get to know each student, and to custom tailor the curriculum for him or her. Method books appropriate to the instrument and level of skill are a large part of my teaching, and I also try to use technology and muti-media to make instruction more interesting and relevant. I use teaching strategies and techniques that help students progress faster with less frustration. I emphasize reading music versus learning by note, and continually look for ways to make lessons interesting, creative, and fun. Read More
