Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Drums

The experience I have teaching goes back to my time at the University of Colorado Denver, I enrolled in an Afro-Cuban hand percussion class, and in a music pedagogy(teaching) course. The music pedagogy course taught me numerous teaching philosophies and required me to teach lessons regularly with a student. The afro-cuban ensemble gave me immense experience tutoring other students that were coming into the class without any drumming experience. Read More

I began teaching at the age of 19 and within one year ended up teaching over 70 drummers weekly at four different locations in which I managed 2 of them. I then went on to open my own studio in 2007 to great success. Recently, desiring more musical adventures, I've decided to relocate to Las Vegas in search of more music opportunities in The Music Business. I have taught thousands of drummers and guitar players over the year and am looking forward to teaching thousands more! Read More

Seeing my students perform a recital and learn other concepts on drums was a rewarding experience for me. It was the greatest gift of all sort of speak. My style includes but not limited to teaching from method books then moving to songs or a combination of both.

I also like my students to learn how to read and learn song structure and learning the various aspects of reading sheet music. Read More

Not only am I an accomplished musician, I am also a talented teacher. My hunger for effective teaching began as I often interacted with excellent musicians who were lacking only in their ability to teach their craft. My first experiences teaching percussion were at The Music School, formerly located in American Fork, Utah. There, I enjoyed giving private lessons to about 25 students who ranged from the ages of 5 to 50 years old. Read More

Music has allowed me to travel to 40 of the 50 states. I have played a part in writing, recording and releasing 12 records in my life and performed professionally over 1,000 concerts on a wide range of drums/percussion instruments. I have also been fortunate through music to meet so many wonderful musicians and people from almost every culture around the world which expanded my understanding of the world outside of whatever city I live in.
