Instruments: Piano
I am a passionate and energetic musician and teacher. Music is one of my favorite things in the world. It brings me great joy to pass my knowledge on to others.

I have a strong background in classical music, but the music I write is more Rock and Blues influenced. Read More
Instruments: Piano
The first time I had the opportunity to mentor students was in my sophomore year of college in 2017. As a piano tutor at California Baptist University, I was helping beginner piano students to prepare for piano proficiency exams. I became a Teaching Assistant in the spring of 2021, where I assisted my piano professor in preparing for classes and lessons. I started teaching my own private students online and in person in the summer of 2021. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I teach from a feel and improvisation stand point. I do start with basic rhythm studies but I love to allow for my students to explore the kit and their own comfort levels. It creates what I feel to be a sense of intimacy between them and the instrument. I believe that feeling comfortable with your instructor and your instrument harbor a much more positive and motivational learning impact on the student. Read More
Instruments: Piano
For beginner students, I use the Piano Adventure series, and for adults, I utilize Alfred or Adventure Adult books. Intermediate and advanced level students mainly work with individual books dedicated to composers from different eras. Despite having excellent resources, I always strive to personalize the approach and book selection according to each student's needs using a one-on-one customized approach to teaching. I create a yearly plan for each student I receive, which includes foundational piano lessons, preparation for competitions, and special pieces for the Christmas season. Read More

It was during high school that I started to teach piano, and my love for teaching music has only grown since then. I love teaching students of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Read More

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
I can usually tell if a child is ready to start drum lessons if they know their right from their left, although if they don’t, I can certainly help with that too! Having a basic understanding of left and right is important for coordinating hands and feet on the drum set. Additionally, some basic math skills, like simple counting, go a long way in helping a young student grasp rhythm and timing.
One of the great things about learning music is that it naturally strengthens math skills. Counting beats, subdividing rhythms, and understanding time signatures all reinforce concepts like fractions and pattern recognition. Many studies have shown a strong connection between music education and improved math abilities, and I see it firsthand with my students. Drumming isn’t just about playing beats, it’s about developing a strong sense of timing, problem-solving, and coordination, all of which have benefits beyond music.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My earliest teachers, Rob Heskett and Ted Fulte, were the reason I chose music as a profession. They didn’t just teach me how to play, they made me believe in myself. Their passion for music and dedication to their students had a huge impact on me, and I carry that same philosophy into my own teaching.
Because of them, I understand how powerful a great teacher can be. It’s not just about showing students how to play a beat or read a chart—it’s about inspiring confidence, encouraging growth, and helping them realize their full potential. That’s exactly what I aim to do for every student I teach.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I’m most proud of three major milestones in my career. First, having the privilege of playing for The Sam Morrison Band for 26 years has been an incredible journey. Being part of a band for that long is rare in this industry, and I take great pride in the music we’ve created, the miles we’ve traveled, and the fans we’ve connected with along the way.
Second, winning a Bronze Telly Award in 2009 for my instructional DVD, The School of Hard Rocks, was a huge honor. That project was all about sharing my passion for drumming and helping others grow as musicians, so receiving recognition for it meant a lot to me.
Lastly, having over *25 albums to my credit* is something I’m extremely proud of. Each recording represents countless hours of hard work, creativity, and collaboration, and I’m grateful to have been a part of so many projects over the years. These accomplishments remind me why I fell in love with drumming in the first place, and they continue to fuel my passion for music every day.
When will I start to see results?
One of the most rewarding things about learning drums is that students will see results after the very first lesson. Whether it’s playing their first basic beat, understanding how to hold the sticks properly, or learning a simple rhythm, they’ll walk away with something tangible they can build on.
I focus on making sure every lesson is productive and enjoyable, so students leave feeling accomplished and excited to keep playing. Drumming is all about progress, and even small victories, like locking into a groove for the first time, can be incredibly motivating. With consistent practice and the right approach, students will continue to see steady improvement, keeping them engaged and eager to learn more.
