For beginning students that are in middle or high school, I typically start them out learning snare drum technique, and reading rhythms. Fortechnique I will use standard exercises and rudiments, and for readingI will use "Syncopation for The Modern Drummer".If the student has a drumset then I will start them with some basic "Rock" beatsas a tool to help thembetter understand the subdivision of time, and form some independence.Most of my students move into Gary Chester's "The New Breed" as their first drumset book.After teaching for 25 years, I have developed a lot of my own lesson meterials, and I try to cater the lesson plans to both challenge the students and keep them having fun learning.

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 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

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

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.
