I will help young students learn the basics of drumming from rudiments, technique, and sight-reading. For more advanced students I am able to guide them into more complex topics such as musical creativity, feel, and improvisation.

I am always quick to acknowledge every small bit of progress that they make and focus on the positives rather than the negatives. Read More
