Instruments: Drums
I began teaching lessons over five years ago. I never pictured myself being an educator, but I was surprised how fulfilling it was. I encourage hard work and consistent practice, but try to craft my excercizes to that the student will be fully interested and engaged. It is truly rewarding to watch a student grow and develop as result of our work together. I try to adapt each students' lessons to fir their interests. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I began teaching private lessons at the age of 15 while attending high school in Millbrook. These students spanned from beginner to intermediate levels. I saw vast improvements from seeing them on a weekly basis and seeing that progress motivated me to have a very regimented, but fun lesson planned for each week. Implementing the fundamentals of technique, the language of rudiments and reading music early on save a ton of time later on when proceeding to more advanced practice routines. Read More

Classical: Irina Gorin Books which is suitable for kids 4-6 years old Then I explore the classical repertoire. Jazz theory: Own developed curriculum Pop songs: Same as Jazz theory. The only difference is the repertoire of songs explored For intermediate- advanced students I work on developing their favorite music styles and songs. I like to help the student self practice and self understand music. I encourage them when they show interest in practice. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who would love to work with students and share the beautiful art that is music. I've been studying and playing drumset for 7 years and I am a rising sophomore at Belmont University. There, I am studying commercial percussion with an emphasis in performance and will get my degree in Bachelor of Arts in 2025. I have had the honor of studying under several widely successful drummers, including Jim Riley, drummer of The Rascal Flatts and I have applied several of their methods to my own teaching. Read More
Instruments: Drums
For beginning students, I start with a method book that provides them with both aural, visual, and kinesthetic instruction. In addition, I work with my students to develop a curriculum that is high individualized and caters to their needs and, more importantly, their interests. For intermediate and advanced students, I focus on repertoire, etudes, and coordination studies, in order to build technique while learning the standard repertoire pieces. All of my lessons are student directed, and thus each lesson is unique. Read More

I am a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students of all ages and levels. I currently attend Monmouth University and will be receiving a BM in Guitar Performance. I will also have a minor in Voice and Piano. Due to my career ending Division I soccer injury, performing has become one of my greatest loves, teaching is my first! I tailor each lesson to each students needs and thoroughly enjoy watching each student progress. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums
I always tailor my lessons to the needs of the student. Sometimes students just want to get into learning specific songs, while others are interested in theory. Also, there is a massive backlash against the pharmaceutical industry for over-prescribing drugs for things like ADHD. Instead, doctors are now recommending music lessons to burn off that excess energy a child may have. Also, a teacher has to be able to have the social skills to 'read' a student. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Do anything long enough and you will see results but it's focus and consistency in your practice with a combination of patience that will produce results. You can see results every week with daily practice, this does not need to be an hour every day, 10 to 20 minutes and you will start to make progress!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning to slow down and focus on everything you are doing. I always wanted to play faster and better but it wasn't until I slowed myself down and learned to focus on the little details that I started to hear myself better and sound better.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I actually wanted to play Saxophone but my parents could not find me a suitable teacher at the time so I picked the drums and I'm so glad I did! Rhythm came very naturally to me and I loved the look of a drum set with a band. I still love the saxophone but I can't play a single note on it but that's okay, there are so many great ones to listen too.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are asking for lessons themselves! I recommend to parents that they not push or force their child to play a particular instrument, usually the one they are interested in the most is the one they should start with. Now this does have some caveats as certain instruments like voice, woodwinds, or brass are better started after the age of 7 or 8 but there are ways to encourage them at home. Also, if a student is starting on piano but understands they can move onto their desired instrument as they get older, it will make it feel less like they are being kept from that instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Consistency is key! I always recommend to my students to set a timer and allow themselves a set amount of time to devote to practicing without interruption. This could be 5, 10, 15 or minutes or more depending on how much time you want to give to practicing. After the timer goes off, allow yourself to make the choice whether to continue or pick it up the next day. This way you have given yourself the time to improve but it doesn't feel like you have lost a whole chunk of your day. With daily practice it will become a habit and start to feel fun as you see yourself making progress!
