One of the most important factors in determining a teacher's legitimacy is their professional teaching experience.

My most recent job involved teaching up to 35 students a week on beginner-advanced piano, vocals, guitar, drums, songwriting, and bass.

I began teaching younger kids in my high school that were also starting to play in bands. I learned very quickly just how much experience I already had gathered to provide insight to people who were just a few years behind me in skill level.

For all of my students I start by allowing them to sit and feel the kit. Building a strong trusting relationship is important.
