I began taking piano lessons at age 4 and started concert percussion in 5th grade. I knew I wanted to teach music when I was a freshman in high school, when I first fell in love with marching band. Music has been the area in my life I have excelled and God has given me talents of connecting with children and people to share my passion for music with them. I have taught individual and small group piano and percussion lessons part-time for about 4 years and love every minute of it. Read More

My teaching experience started immediately after college, as I found that teaching music in between my own band's tours was a fun and practical way to both make a living and work with awesome students.

My experience in both classical music, as well as modern rock music gives me a great perspective on teaching. Read More

I teach both virtually and in person either at my home studio in Cedar Rapids or in Ames when I'm at college. I believe that a combination of all the various styles of percussion is the best way to get a full grasp of drumming, however if you have specific interests I will do my best to focus on those when possible in the lessons.
