Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Ukulele Double Bass Music Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have developed a method for guitar students of all ages to quickly learn chords and scales so that they can not only learn the chord progression to songs, they can also find the correct scale to "solo" and improvise over them. Once the chord structure and scale are learned I accompany the student, playing along with them so that they can practice playing with another musician and soloing. I have also developed a full curriculum for teaching bass guitar to all ages and skill levels. Read More

I began teaching guitar when I was 17 in my hometown. I am a drummer, but can say I have limited experience teaching drums. In the last few years I've taught a drumming appreciation class as well as a gardening 101 class, both for ages 4-11 as part of Austins Camp Indigo. I've also led nature walks and outdoor games for children for Camp champions in Marble Falls, TX.Inlate 2015I beganwork as an assistant aftercareteacherat an elementary school in Belmont, MA.

What genre of music and style of drumming are you most naturally drawn to. We will find an answer to these questions over a short period of just 2-4 weeks, so long as my instructions are followed. Listening to music is just as important as playing when it comes to being a musician. 2. Study basic technique/rudiments/coordination and independence exercises to build endurance, fluency and facility on the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Drums
My method of teaching focuses on Technique and Musicality. No matter the level of student, these areas can be practiced and results will be heard thru the focus on these. Reading music is taught, but naturally along with the focus on the two areas mentioned before. For example, Eddie wants to learn ACDC's "Back in Black". Eddie will learn the drum part to this song by observing the written notation and by listening and call/response training. Read More

It really depends on needs and desires of student! I create custom lesson plans for each student depending on their current ability level, age, and future goals. For drums -topics include: various Snare books to teach students sight reading basics while focusing on technique, transcriptions of drum grooves and solos, learning and playing along to recordings, etc. For Piano, I combine a traditional note reading approach/music theory with the "by ear" Suzuki Method.

Instruments: Drums
I began teaching over the summer of 2010. While attending Berklee, I had countless one-on-one and small group sessions with fellow drummers where we would bounce ideas off one another and give each other "mini lessons," breaking down specific grooves and licks. In October, 2014, I led an hour-long master class for other Berklee percussion students about advanced polyrhythmic concepts and applications. In addition to teaching out of my rehearsal space in Allston, MA, I also make lesson videos that I share online. Read More

What does a normal practice session look like for you?
- Normal practice for me, is pluging in headphones, and playing to records, while implemening different ideas.
I got this routine from my peers at Berklee College of music. What this does for us is, it creates an atmosphere of what music should sound like when playing live. It also allows drummers to build a great foundation for time, and pocket presence.
There will come a time when many of us should be in tune with how and what we play, and for when we play it. Its crucial that these things are often remembered and put to use.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
-Effective practics ia aomething that has to be done daily. In order to be great, some sort of repetition and or practice is needed to sharpen and refine a set of skills. My best advice for effective practicing is,l to, maintain focus while practicing the task at hand, and always start off slowly. Then, once you have it down, gradually build soeed and precision.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
- You will known if your child is ready to begin, simply by understanding their interest in music. If you see that they are very intrigued and have a strong liking for something, than thats when you can see that they may be interested in taking that fascination further.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
- My music degree is in music production and music business. There reasons why i chose those two are very simple. In any art, theres a performance side, and a business side. The reason for both of those, is because thats how we’re abl to negotiate different deals, and keep the business growing and expanding.
As far as music business goes, its important to know the little ins and outs of the industry that we’re in.
For music production, there are many avenues that one can take to become an active music producer. Having taken courses for music production, it gives me an insight to many different areas of the production side of music, and lets me understand the capabilities thag it can bring.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
- In my opinion, the hardest thing to master on my instrument is, finding your identity.
Being abke to have a sound that you like and that you can relate too, is one of the most important things for a musician.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
- In beginning stages, I use a freeform style of teaching. Its where we get the oppurtunity to understand what the student can and ir cannot skdo.
From there, we work on the desired area of interest for the student(s) and begin to develop their feel, style, pocket, ear, and sight-reading (aka, fundamentals).
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
- Yes. I did. His name is, Nate Barnes.
- He inspired me simply because, my first time meeting him was my first time hearing an industry professional, play drums live. Not to mention, he’s a blind drummer.
