I spent my professional life working with professional groups, I performed classical piano concerts regionally, and I worked with church choirs and praise teams.

I attempted to do the same in all my experiences with students. Read More

I want to make sure students are eager to learn, so I employ teaching techniques that make learning fun. Read More

Instruments: Voice Drums

For a beginning student on voice or drums, fundamentals will be incorporated into their warm-ups each lesson and throughout the week. Each student has a reason for wanting to take lessons and incorporating that into the lessons will give the student more drive to practice. If a student discovers something while playing or doing warm-ups, we will continue down the road to see where the student's hands, voice, or brain want to take them. Read More
