I have been a musician for approximately 20 years I love teaching others what I have learned. I started my career as a musician in 1993 with a group call the drums of thunder in Paterson New Jersey. That was known as a blue ribbon school of perform arts. I carry with me the passion and inspiration. And I feel that it is my duty to pass on that passion and inspiration to all of my students.
