I've been teaching music for more than 12 years now. I can honestly say that I enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge of music. Not everyone can say that they truly enjoy their job so I feel blessed. I have taught hundreds of students ranging from ages 4 to 80! I have taught individuals, groups or online lessons. During the pandemic I was lucky to I keep working because of zoom lessons. I don't know what I would have done without zoom lessons. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I consider myself to be a laid-back, fun instructor! I want you or your child to have a passion and love for this art like I do. I just love to see people improving their skills, and I push them to push themselves! I'm not a stern or overbearing teacher, but I do have expectations. I only ask that they practice as much as they can in the time between lessons! Read More

For kids, I'll start with easy but basic notes and chords. I try to make it fun like learning songs they might know. For young adults to adults, I'll do the same but on their level and the expectation is much higher than kids. Read More

This is where I think it is fun to be creative because we are all different. Everybody has a different method of interpretation and I feel like that is my job to figure out what works for you as an individual. For example I will simply ask you questions like what style of music are you listening to and songs you want to learn how to play. It is also my job to know the difficulty level and how to guide you in the right direction to keep things fun! Read More

I moved to the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts in early 2015 and relocated back to Dallas/Ft. Worth in late 2017. For the past several years, I've been blessed with the opportunity to perform across the country and beyond, to facilitate interactive music workshops, to teach private lessons, and to provide original music and sound design for documentaries, films, animations, and more. In 2014, I initiated my solo project Starseed, featuring original electronic compositions infused with guitar and vocals. Read More
Instruments: Drums Latin Percussion
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Hand and feet coordination. Drummers totally make it easier than it looks. However, after learning some basic beats and graduating to more complicated rhythms the student can master the hand and feet coordination with ease. I've 6 year olds learn the basics in a month, and adults in under a couple months as well. As with everything the pace depends on the student interest and dedication.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
-->warm up with rudimental exercises (10 - 30 min)
-->work on a beat/fill till you can play it more or less( as long as it takes)
-->now play with the metronome at comfortable pace (5mins)
-->finally increase the tempo by 10bpm at a time and play the beat for about 3 mins each speed.
The goal is to slowly build hand speed, and be able to play the best/fill at various tempos.
Practicing 15-30mins everyday is very helpful compared not practicing for several days and practicing for hours. Repetition is key.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If the potential student really likes music(starts dancing, or tapping, or jus generally is fan) then it's a good idea to consider lessons. After the first few lessons the parents can tell if the child enjoys it (practicing at home is not always a good indicator). Moreover, they can wait as long as 3-4 months before purchasing a drum unit(either "real" acoustic or digital //more versatile), the student can make do with a pair of sticks and a drum pad(Both costing easily under $50) to practice and learn with during lessons.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
When I was younger I didn't practice much or at all. This because when I was six, the notes were kinda scary and pretty boring. I just wanted to go and play! So that what I did, and struggled for a couple years with youtube videos , playing to songs, and asking instructors to just teach me beats. Finally I was good enough to have some patience with myself to try notes again. Now I could play the beginner notes and even try out intermediate level stuff. That's why I like to teach students (irrespective of level) with songs, to keep things interesting, but also now that I know the road ahead, we can start with the most basic version of the beat in the song and build from there. This way when we do dive into notes later, the student will both understand and be able to play the beats. On a side note all my homework and lesson . summaries have notes to help student go back and remember what we did in class -- so they're always in sight with notes, but notation is not the main focus until the intermediate level.
