Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
I began teaching private lessons about 25 years ago, after I had been hired to work with the drumlines for two different high schools. My first student was in one of the drumlines that I taught, and my second student was referred to me by the band director of another school, after seeing my drumline in competition. Since then, I have taught more students than I can count. Most students have been middle and high school age, but I have had lots of fun teaching students as young as 5 years old, and adults who always wished they had learned to play the drums.I have found that the best way to motivate students is tostart by teaching themto play the kind of music they like most, and then introduce them to other styles later.Lessons are always fun, and catered to the student's needs.

Teaching is a huge responsibilty that I do not take light heartedly. If we as teachers do a suburd job, it will have a huge effect on a students over all life. Musical education teaches us about the mind and body and balance between the two. It teaches us logic, problem solving, and creative thinking in balance with eachother. It teaches us posture, breath, how to think. It teaches us to listen, and to communicate, to engage with others, it teaches us work ethic and how to colloborate with anyone. 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.

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

I feel I explained a good amount of my teaching style in the last column. I really like to go with what the student will benefit from the most, not necessarily what is the cookie cutter "next step" I learned to play by trying things a couple levels above me and I loved it. I know not all students are the same, and sometimes the parents input is a big factor depending on if they are musicians themselves! Read More

I am a student at Phoenix College for Music Composition and I have been playing the drum-set for my entire life. My siblings taught me the fundamentals of listening or "building your ear" to create music as we grew up together in Athens, OH - I am now writing and performing my own work at local venues which have been a great privilege for me. I am now the music director for the largest comedy show in Phoenix! - Cam Read More

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.
