Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Djembe
I am patient and creative in my approach to teaching technique, sight-reading, and musicality. I believe that music performance should be an enjoyable and energizing experience for the performer and listener. I assign practicing material based on the goals, interests, and performance level of each student. While learning individual pieces can be fun, I also focus on giving the student the right tools to become a life-long musician in whatever capacity they choose. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Trumpet Drums Bass Guitar Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
No matter where the student starts from, I always spend a significant amount of time in the first lesson discussing with them what they want to gain, what they are interested in, and how much time and effort they want to put into this endevor. It is important to me to understand the student so that I can cater to their needs and desires, and hopefully encourage them to continue playing music. Read More
Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Clarinet Drums Mallet Percussion Conga Latin Percussion Djembe
My teaching style is laid back and technical. I like to go at the pace of the student and really make sure technique is perfect. With good technique you set yourself up for success and develop good habits from the start. I can't tell you how many times I've seen students, even in college, dramatically improve their sound with just a simple posture change. Once technique is handled, the doors to all genres of music are open. Read More
Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion
I've been teaching since 1998 and sincerely enjoy helping kids of all ages learn and excel playing drums and percussion. In 2000 I opened a drum studio in central California where I gave drum and percussion lessons to children as young as three years old to adult retired hobbyists. While running my own drum studio I also taught for Connecting Waters Charter School. Teaching drums for me is very rewarding and I take pride in giving the student all the benefit of my experience.

I have the same approach to teaching beginner and intermediate piano. Again, we learn our notes in five finger position and then we learn to read time signatures, notes in the treble clef, chords, and rhythms, as well as playing complete songs. When teaching piano for beginners I like to pick the leaning material that we'll use based on the individual because we all learn differently and I like to keep it fun so the student stays interested.

I'm more of a "laid back" type of teacher.No whips or teachers rulers here. Music is supposed to be fun!!If you're not having fun, what's the point? After 3 to 6 months, you should expect to be playing some of your favorite songs and artists accurately. Remember-Even if you don't want to play professionally,maybe you just want to learn a few chords, licks,songs, for yourself, or to impress friends.That's ok too! Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Set reasonable, realistic, and attainable goals. Learning and playing guitar is challenging. If you are frustrated, or not motivated, you are more likely to quit. Having a good teacher is one step in the process. Create a positive learning environment. Listen to music and practice the parts, techniques, and study the theory that applies to the music that you are passionate about. If you set your goals too high then you are likely to get frustrated. Be patient, but work every day, and be proud of the accomplishemets that you make everyday on the instrument.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a young person is interested in music, listens to music, and has experessed interest in learning a musical instrument then that means that they can benefit from lessons. In my experience, the first lessons are a good way for a child to decide which instrument, and what style of music, is right for them. The first music lessons, might be very effective, and the student will learn quickly. It might also be a learning experience, that teaches the student valuable lessons such as discipline, and a strong work ethic. The student will benefit when thay discover an instrument that they enjoy, and a style of music that they love to study and perform.
When will I start to see results?
Results are attained by working hard and staying focused. If you lose your focus it easy to get frustrated and quit. Playing an instrument is difficult. Through practice, a supportive environment, and good instruction, students improve. In some cases, the results are dramatic. Once a student has the right teacher, the right lesson plan, and is studying the right instrument and music, they will advance. The more that they study and practice, the better they will get. It can a take couple of years, or more to achieve the desired results.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
All of my teachers inspired me. Also, many other guitarists that I played with and worked with inspired me. Teachers spent extra time trying to explain things, or make sure that I was doing my best made a difference. If someone had more skill at one particular techinique, then I was inspired to meet with them and learn as much as I could from them. Other times I spent a few months studying with someone or attending a seminar. I was inspired by accomplished guitarists who also taught other guitarists through their skill and talent.
