In beginning students, it's always important to start out working with a methods book; they're a great starting and reference point.

Even from the onset, you should make the kinds of music, style, and sounds you like the most. Read More

I have been teaching privately for the past 7 years and absolutely love it! I love helping my students achieve their goals weather that be concrete or abstract!

For beginning and intermediate students, I offer my own rudiment book to start learning on a practice pad or snare drum. For learning drum set, I use a variety of books and resources.

I create Spotify playlists for students so they can easily access a variety of styles of music. Read More

Instruments: Piano Trumpet

Music is my passion. I believe that music is able to connect us in ways that words and actions simply cannot. I have been playing music in some form for over 20 years. I play trumpet and piano. In college, I was a lead trumpet player for the UNL Cornhusker Marching Band. My experience in music has taught me that there is more to playing an instrument than simply following a sheet of music and playing notes. Read More
