I started teaching private lessons in 1990 and continued through my college years and as I raised my two sons. I was thrilled to move to Maple Heights where I can have a room dedicated as a music studio. I started the band program at my k-8 school in 2000 and currently teach band to high school students. I have continued teaching privately because I enjoy the one on one experience with the student. Read More

Instruments: Drums
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
I always knew that I wanted to play music. My family isn’t very musical so it’s always been something I felt within myself and once I joined my first band, I knew that I would always keep doing it.
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
Rock and funk are my favorite. A good funk groove has nothing that can top it. Add those horns and a great bass player are what get people dancing.
If you weren't a musician what do you think you'd be doing instead?
I would be a car mechanic. I’ve always loved cars and sometimes work on my own. It’s always good to have basic knowledge of something you depend on.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
I don’t have a music degree. My degree is in geography. I just happen to be a musician as a hobby and spare time. I just love making music.
What is your dream piece to perform and why?
What is hip by tower of power. My band used to play this song and I did it to a certain degree but always knew that the drummer was very accomplished.
What does a normal practice session look like for you?
I mostly practice songs and parts for the band I’m in. I also use patterns fan fills that some really accomplished players have used in their songs and efforts.
Do you use specific teaching methods or books? (Ex: Alfred, Bastion, Suzuki, Hal Leonard) Why did you choose them if you did?
I will only use the method that best fits the student. I’ve not used any recent methods. I’m open to any method and I’d want to be flexible to the student and the parents.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The hardest thing to master is sight reading and polyrhythms. They are by far the most challenging thing in music, not just for the drummer or percussionist.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I’ve never had a student win any honors or awards. I’m just re-entering the teaching world so hopefully that will change going forward. I look for forward to new students.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I’m most proud of the albums I’ve created and the songwriting contributions. The drum parts that I’ve played that become part of the song are what is the most exciting.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I play a few instruments but always loved drums. I grew up listening to rock and the drummers always seemed to be having fun and were sometimes in the spotlight.
When will I start to see results?
The results will depend on the desire and dedication of the student. They need to be practicing and showing results no matter how small those results are.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I never had a teacher that inspired me musically. I did have other musicians that always inspired me and many of them aren’t drummers. They were actually song writers and performers.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
They’ve exhausted the online or self taught resources and have asked to have a teacher and also showed some talent and have put in the practice.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Have a goal in mind each time you practice. Be it a song or a pattern and set that as a goal and take lots of notes to know where you started and where you ended.
