I am a public school teacher here in Austin and I have done my best to incorporate music in the classroom. I have taught instruments to my students, recorded an album with student written songs, hosted school wide performances, and visited students at home for personalized music education. I have also introduced and taught adults to instruments they now play professionally. I am currently a music mentor with a local non-profit that brings music to foster care children. Read More

I have a very fun yet effective teaching style. I try to help students reach their personal goals on the instrument. I also like to recognize each achievement no matter how small to show my students how their practicing and hard work has paid off. I want each student to progress at their own pace and mostly to show them what the world of music has to offer. Read More

Typically, lesson plans are build around students goals. Some students may not have an interest in learning from a "traditional" approach from a book. Although this is highly recommended, I create different lesson plans for each individual student. I typically use and coach students from "Stick Control: for the snare drummer", "Syncopation for the modern drummer" and "The Blue Book" for drums. From time to time, I have also taught with "fakebook" charts for jazz drummers as well as play along tracks of various artists. Read More

Sharing this gift with musicians I consider an honor to pass down my wisdom as my instructor did so with me. At your own pace we will explore skill level, different genres of music, and preference in style. Read More

Music makes life awesome! Sharing my passion and love for music is what I do. I graduated from the Musicians Institute in 2012 with a degree in drum performance. There I was able to immerse myself in music, get hands-on training and learn from world-class instructors. Through the school, I met bandmates, recorded for different artists and learned how to be an educator. My musical journey has brought me to "The Live Music Capitol of the World", Austin, TX. where I make a living playing music professionally. Read More

Playing music is awesome, and I love sharing the experience of performance with students. My greatest former teachers made always two things clear - 1) it is important to strive to be better than than you were yesterday, and 2) playing music should be fun! Whether big or small, it is important to me that each student see measurable progress with every lesson. All lessons are tailored to the specific needs and learning style of each individual student.
