I'm trying to put each student in touch with their inner creative. Everyone learns at a different pace and my approach is to teach something to mastery level rather than fill a quota.

When teaching drums or percussion to a beginner, I always start with basic stick-control and technique. I have numerous methods for progression but after some time, I always let the student's interests and goals lead the way.

Instruments: Guitar, Trumpet, Music, Acoustic Guitar
My teaching style is relaxed. I grew up taking lessons that stressed me out and that's the last thing I want any of my students to feel.
