I am a hard-work driven individual who loves the art of teaching students. I take my craft very serious, and teach literally everything I know how to, in order to get where I am today.

I literally teach you everything you need to know ranging from posture, to how to perform with stage presence. Read More

Instruments: Drums, Mallet Percussion

I expect hard work from every student I teach. While I don't expect every week to be successful (We are human for goodness sake) as long as a student gives a true honest effort we can always make progress together. I always encourage questions or comments during or after the lesson. I want every student to leave my studio feeling confident they can get sufficient work done for our next lesson. Read More

After graduating from the Conservatory, I taught privately and performed in the Boston area as well as touring throughout the United states.

My methods used for piano students are the Randall and Nancy Faber teaching books; they are among the very best teaching materials due to their ease of comprehension, their logical sequence of concepts taught, and also their practical exercises and songs for the student. My methods used for Band instruments (trumpet, clarinet, flute, drums, and trombone), are the Standard of Excellence books, as they are also among the very best in regards to explaining musical concepts, presenting new songs, and logical progression.
