I started teaching when I first got my drivers license in order to maintain an income that was related to music. I quickly learned that I was quite decent at explaining concepts and connecting with students on different levels. When I was 19 I started working at the School Of Rock where I taught group classes, 1 on 1, and helped put shows on based on curriculum that I was given by the school. Read More

I have worked with students aging from 6 with no training to 55 with 30 years of training. Every student is different and presents unique challenges. I find that the less a student know the easier it is to see improvement. Often with older players there are fundamental basics that are working against them that need correction. You can not unlearn something, only learn something knew. The most important thing in music education is starting them right because muscle memory is extremly hard to change. Read More

My beginning students usually start with Hal Leonards Essential Elements, Accents on Achievements, Do It Play In Band, and much more. Once my student is able to grasp basic fundamentals and a healthy proper tone and technique, I will then be able to incorporate solo repertoire for future recitals and contests. For adults, I will find out what interests my students and coordinate my lessons accordingly to keep the lesson engaging and fun. Read More

My method begins with basic note reading stick grip, we concentrate on relaxation. stick control note reading. As soon as they are able to cleanly play 16th notes on a practice pad, we incorporate drum set independence. This independence is introduced through learning various genres of music, which also introduce various styles of playing. These variations are studied worked out in exercises that allow the student to ad lib with any style of music. Read More
Instruments: Drums Synthesizer
The first lesson I will assess the students playing to get to know them and their goals so we can get started right away. For beginners we'll be focusing heavily on Syncopation and Stick Control, two excellent books. When the student has a grasp on the basics we will work on dynamic control, limb independence, sense of time and ear training. Intermediate lessons include advanced poly-rhythms, trading fours together in different time signatures, fine tuning the drums and advanced sight reading. Read More

I write all my own lesson materials focusing on what the student needs to know to play, understand, and enjoy music to achieve their goals. I have used several method books in the past but find them all limited or focused on styles or technique that is not what the student wants or needs to learn. I can teach from any established method if that is preferred, but instead enjoy challenging the student to understand what music is and how music is played on their chosen instrument, not just to read.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
I feel music does run in my family as I have an uncle that loves to play the guitar. My father also really enjoys music and picked up on the drums. Although he enjoys a pretty different genre of rock and music than I do, I still admire and appreciate that my father was so passionate in music at one point in his life. Although he doesn't really play his drums as much anymore, I'm glad I picked up some musical traits from him and my other family members. It was a great opportunity to really shine and play the violin.
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I decided that I wanted to make teaching the violin and to also make music a professional career after I graduated from high school. Although I was already teaching under class man the fundamentals to music, that really opened my eyes to the opportunities that music has to offer. Music isn't just an amazing passion that I love and play, it also gives me the opportunity to meet new people and to travel the world. Music is a universal language that everyone understands and enjoys and it is nice to be a part of that. Another reason I decided to pursue a professional music career was because it filled my heart to see my students accomplish many things and really made me proud. That was a feeling I never want to lose.
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play the Violin, Flute, and Viola. The reason I picked up more instruments is because I love musics and I love to explore other aspects of it and the ensemble. Like being in an orchestra and then picking up the flute so I can join the band and the marching band. It gave my the opportunity to meet more musicians that have the same goals as I do. It was really nice to explore the music world and to see how every instrument works together to make an ensemble sound amazing. Every instrument in an ensemble is important.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
My favorite style and genre to play would have to be romantic, classical, and a lot of modern day music. I really like to explore pieces and try and challenge myself. I do tend to enjoy the more slow and beautiful sounding pieces rather then the fast and edgy ones. Also, when it comes to modern day music, that can range from anything in movies, video games, TV shows, and really anything in our time and age. I do not judge where the music comes from, but if it is beautiful sounding to me whether it is from a movie or video game, I will learn and play it and most likely perform it on my YouTube channel.
