ABOUT
Degrees / Training / Special Info:
BS, Recording Arts, Music
Overview:
I've been passionately involved in music for as long as I can remember. In 2015 I graduated from the University of Colorado Denver with a BS in Recording Arts and Music. My passion for the science behind recording and manipulating sound has driven me to experiment on the drum set, and while composing my own music. I am currently professionally performing with The Electro-Soul group Melody Lines who has amazing opportunities like opening for members of The Disco Biscuits, Pretty Lights, Lotus, String Cheese Incident, Particle, Phil Lesh Band, and Karl Denson's Tiny Universe.
EXPERIENCE
The experience I have teaching goes back to my time at the University of Colorado Denver, I enrolled in an Afro-Cuban hand percussion class, and in a music pedagogy(teaching) course. The music pedagogy course taught me numerous teaching philosophies and required me to teach lessons regularly with a student. The afro-cuban ensemble gave me immense experience tutoring other students that were coming into the class without any drumming experience. I have continued doing private lessons since my graduation finding it to be a very rewarding experience.
METHODS USED
For children I will typically start with Hal Leonard's Drums 1. I will use examples that build upon each other until we can construct full beats, playing along with a wide repertoire of music. It's important to get the younger student to have fun, building passion for their instrument. For adults I will find the interests of the students and build my lessons around that, adding examples from the most relevant sources. I will help the student understand how to read music, giving them a more intimate understand of these beats.
LESSON STYLE
I love sharing my passion for music with others, and I've learned that sharing my knowledge is one of the most rewarding experiences in my life. This is why the experience needs to be enjoyable and fun. I have realistic expectations for my students and help them reach their goals at their pace. Every time the student succeeds at one of their goals makes me ecstatic. I remember the struggles of learning and how satisfying it is. My ability to customize lessons will help inspire the student while pushing them to find new ideas.
