Music Lessons in Henderson, NV

Instruments: Drums

My teaching experience began at age 18 after being approached to do so.  I taught off and on throughout college and began seeing students regularly once I was working as a professional musician.  Whether in the Boston area or Las Vegas, where I am currently based, I have always had a private drum studio where I meet with students on a weekly basis for private instruction. In Massachussetts, I was the principle drum instructor at a Montessori Elementary School and a drum instructor at a music shop, both for several years. Read More

I like to see students getting excited about learning new concepts in music. I also like to see music becoming a part of their lives and learning. I enjoy passing on what I've been given. I like to see music becoming a part of students lives and being an enjoyable experience for years to come. One area I specialize in is helping students with their band or ensemble music and giving them the extra help they may need to excel in their band or choir classes in school.

I believe that no one system works for every student. My main focus in teaching is to find the best way for each student to learn and to enjoy playing. I know that if the student doesn't like their lessons, it makes it more difficult to learn and may lead to that student deciding they no longer want to play. In each lesson, we will work on as much technique as possible, but as long as students continue to learn and are motivated to play, I won't push them beyond what they are ready or willing to do.

As already stated, my approach stresses understanding a mastery of "the basics" of musical knowledge and instrument-specific knowledge and skills -while adapting to the individual strengths/weaknesses and interests... of the individual students. Among other things, my approach emphasizes empowering students by quickly and efficiently imparting essential and useful knowledge and "real skills" that enable students to know and demonstrate, at will, music knowledge and ability. My students tend to become knowledgeable and skilled rapidly, having a clear understanding of the basics of musical knowledge and instrument-specific skill, imparting confidence in their knowledge and ability, while providing them with the knowledge and skill(s) to solve musical problems and achieve musical goals.

Instruments: Voice

I am very strong on vocal technique. I carve voices and create artists with their own unique sound that will sell in the music industry. No-nonsense. You will work hard if you come to me, but I get results every time when the student is ready to learn. My work is rooted in 30 years of training and research. Students utilize the "vocal gymnasium" and weekly assignments include technical audio modules, reading assignments and personal research explorations tailored to their individual aspirations and goals.

Compared to most musicians, I started playing guitar "late in life" at the age of 13. As most teenagers do, I started by learning and playing songs by Nirvana, Blink-182, and of course, Metallica riffs. Although I never strayed too far from punk rock during high school, my musical tastes and abilities really expanded when I attended the Atlanta Institute of Music. While there, I studied Rock, Jazz, Classical, Blues, Slide, and more. Read More
