I have been teaching for 10 years on various levels. I've taught part-time in high schools as a college student, music stores, as well as privately. I love to build a curriculum that is specific to each student's needs. I.e. I like to work with students and help them reach the goals that they have set for themselves. As we continue towards that journey, I create new good exercises to attack problem areas that the student may have along the ride towards their goal. I like to instill confidence in my students, and receive great joy when I see them accomplish something that they did't believe would be possible at one point. Everyone is welcomed to study with me no matter the age!

I have an arsenal of books I may work through or recommend for students from beginner to the advanced player. However, my lessons are customized to fit each students needs. The exercises or books I may work from are usually recommended to the student after assessing where they are skill-wise, what their end goal may be, or based on what tools they like that will help them retain the information the best. Some examples are a few book's such as Ted Reed's Syncopation, or George Lawrence Stone's Stick Control (two drumming bibles.)
