Instruments: Drums

I love to see my students succeed in life! Setting realistic goals is key as some students want to learn for a new hobby, some have a career, and some just love the art of drumming! For me, drumming is all of the above mentioned as well as a form of meditation therapy. My student's always leave smiling, having learned a new skill feel good about themselves and their life.

Instruments: Saxophone Clarinet

I take extreme care in making sure the student is first and foremost having fun. I make sure the student fully understands everything that is expected of them, and will instill a strong sense pride in my students success. I adapt to the students speed and believe genuine encouragement will get the best results out of them at all times. I also like to involve the family members in the lessons as well, sometimes with the student giving them a living room concert, or as I have been able to do in the past, a duet with the student parent.
