Overview:
I have been studying drums for well over 17 years! I love playing, learning, and teaching drums. It's all I ever think about. I began studying Jazz drumming throughout high school, and have performed, toured, and recorded with many bands since. I have become locally acclaimed with my affiliation for local Utah music festivals such as Desert Rocks Music Festival, Powellpalooza, Uncle Uncanny's Summer Sessions, and Psych Lake City. In 2012 I toured heavily all over North America and Europe including Turkey and Greece with a Psychedellic rock band called Radio Moscow.
EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching on and off for the past 3-5 years. Every student I have had has been a awesome and rewarding experience. What I especially love about teaching is learning alongside my student with what they are interested in and sharing that bond and musical taste. To me drumming is the most fun you can have with a musical instrument, and that's how I want my lessons to be. Drums are hilarioulsy rad.
METHODS USED
For any lesson I prefer to have two drum kits, side by side, so that my student can see exactly what I'm doing (posture, form, etc). Though this is not the case most of the time, one kit is always fine. For beginning students I often start with snare drum technique, and depending on what the student knows already, basic kit beats. Intermediate students, fills and timing. Advanced students, advanced beats, fills, etc. What I feel works best is when my student presents a particular song they would love to know and be able to play... and remember it for life.
LESSON STYLE
All I want for my students is to reach their goals. Goals are important. Goals get you to your next goal. I want to share my passion and experiences of drumming with my students. I want to see my students grow. I want my students to share with me what music makes them want to grow. I have had the honor of performing with many amazing musicians, probably some of the best. I want my students to have these experiences. I want my students to know just how colorful the music world is.
