Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion
I believe that the first step towards building proficiency in an instrument is having fun with it. I strive to make the lesson space one that promotes positivity, experimentation and excitement - with these as a foundation we can make the hard parts more enjoyable! I take notes on each lesson and have a plan for the next one in mind. However, I always enjoy following a direction that the student is interested in and can cater lessons to personal goals however ambitious or modest. Read More

I've been a musical director of K-8th grade private school as well as substituting for local band teachers .During that time I taught children all aspects of music, as well as preparing them for recitals and competitions. I've taught students privately at my home studio for more than 20 years, many of my students have gone on to further their education at the university level. I've worked with schools in developing after school music programs that have been successful. Read More

I began teaching privately during college and have been doing so continuously since then. My experience over the years with these many different students has shaped my teaching-to-the-individual method. No matter the type of learner I strongly encourage regular and devoted practice of one's chosen instrument and feel that an attitude focusing on constant improvement (no matter how small the steps) goes a long way. I embrace a student's taste in music and tailor my lessons with those styles in mind. Read More

For my beginning drum students, I use Mark Wessels "A Fresh Approach to the Snare Drum and Drum Set", Rod Morganstein's "drum set musician", and Mitchell Peters' "Developing Dexterity". For students that have a good grasp of the basics, I work through material that caters to their specific interests (jazz, rock, latin, West-African, orchestral/school band, or marching percussion). I also write original etudes for my students based on their needs and include a midi accompaniment to motivate students to work on their assigned material. 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.
