I teach rudiments, technique, and reading drum charts for my beginner students. Wity more advanced students, we study sightreading, and explore different styles of drumming. Typically, I favor using drum method books, and listening to recordings for students to use and listen to in between lessons. Keeping a steady tempo is of course an essential part of good drumming -- I use a metronome to help mystudents achieve that skill, and encourage them to use one when practicing. Read More

I strive to create an encouraging environment where students can express themselves, embrace challenges, and not be afraid to make mistakes or try new things. Read More

Instruments: Bass Guitar

I'm big on ear training and hearing where the bass fits in in the context of a song. The student will pick the songs they want to learn and I will show them what the bass is doing and why.

They must learn at their own pace so they can enjoy what they're doing. Read More
