I have been playing drums for almost 20 years now.

Since graduating in 2015, I have taught private lessons with students throughout New Jersey and New York. I have played percussion for several musical productions as well. I currently play drums with The Permanent Revolution, a NY-based band, and Eels of Love, an NJ-based instrumental progressive rock band. Read More

I've taught in a myriad of environments. My earliest goes back to instructing marching band/indoor percussion programs. My most recent marching program was Fusion Drum Bugle Corps. My college studies helped me branch out musically, and thus I started dabbling in private instruction which I found very fulfilling. I was a graduate adjunct instructor at NYU, teaching primarily concert snare drum. Nowadays, I teach at private music studios (a la School of Rock) and am building up a studio of my own! Read More

As long as a student is eager and willing to learn and practice I will put everything I have into making sure they complete their musical goals! Read More
