For beginning students, I normally start with Alfred's Drum Method. This book works on the fundamentals of reading snare drum music and basic technique. Once the students grasps the basics on reading and playing with a metronome then we tend to move to Tommy Igoe's Groove Essentials (while still working on the Alfred's Method). After the student has began to play with the audio tracks and have succesfully gone through a few lessons from Groove Essentials then we begin to work on some solo repertoire and personal favorites as well.

I started teaching at an internship at PAI of Wyoming Seminary back in 2013. Then I developed my own private studio when studying in Rochester for my Eastman Undergrad. Finally, Hobart and William Smith Colleges hired me before completing that degree to teach at their fantastic school. I have taught jazz, classical, pop, and everything in between. I have no preference for teaching genres, just a focus on making sure the student is learning WHAT THEY WANT. Read More

Music should be fun and exciting, not feel like a chore! Read More

For students who are children I like to start to start learning rhythms through common children’s songs to show how easy music can be. Depending on the instrument, one of the many Hal Leonard books is always a good option. If they are a little older, I will use music that they like to teach how music theory and fundamental skills makes up all the musi they enjoy. We will often learn songs that speak to them and I will use their favorite genres to curate new songs to teach and show them new material and how it relates to their instrument. Read More
