Hello! I am a Junior jazz trombone and music education student at the University of Michigan. I come from a musical family, both of my parents are musicians.

Instruments: Drums

I have various teaching styles that I adapt based on the individual I am teaching. Some people learn best through visual and auditory methods, while others require written instructions. I am comfortable teaching in both styles, but I have noticed that most individuals learn best through hands-on experience. Nonetheless, I can adjust my teaching approach to accommodate anyone who wants to learn how to play the drums. If a student has interest in playing the drums with other people quickly, then i will also teach them important factors that come with that. Read More

My favorite aspect of my first teacher was when he would play his instrument along with me. Read More

This can only be accomplished in a safe and healthy environment where my students are able to express themselves without fear of rejection or judgement.

Through positive affirmation, I am able to help them reach their goals and develop a passion for music. Read More
