I am a passionate and motivated performer and instructor who loves to work one-on-one with other students to help them achieve their personal musical goals. In May of 2015, I graduated from the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University with a Performance degree in Jazz and Contemporary Music Studies. Having been blessed with being able to both learn from and perform with many great musicians, I frequently perform in and around the city in various musical settings and genres. Read More

One direction is a generalized lesson plan learning all styles of drumming and music. Read More
