I have been coaching percussionists for the past several years as the music director for Groove, High Energy Percussion. These are driven, creative college students who put together thematic, physical and technically challenging performances. Think Stomp or Blue Man Group.

Children aged 6-12 learned basic guitar, hand percussion, theatre, writing, and used electronic tools like synthesizer, vocoder, and drum machines (my favorite)! Read More
