We use a mixture of rock, blues, and classical music to give you the best musical education possible. With vocal students, it's all about vocal health, proper breathing, and getting you to find your own voice. Instead of trying to make each singer sound the same, I try to help each singer develop their own style, while still using techniques that will keep their voices healthy and strong, even after a lot of singing.

I use a variety of books, tailored to the student based on my initial viewing of their abilities and what they are interested in learning. I also create my own lesson plans using exercises and music I have written myself. No two lesson plans will be the same as everyone learns differently and has different strengths and weaknesses. I also strive to make lessons continuously fun and interesting. I try to encourage creativity in music in both performing and writing your own drum parts to music that you enjoy. Read More

I'm a fun and energetic music teacher and love teaching others the joy of music. I just graduated from the University of Northern Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts degree in music, where my primary instrument was percussion. At UNI, I was involved in the Panther Marching Band, Symphonic Band, West African Drum Ensemble, Taiko Japanese drumming and many other ensembles. My goal is not to make everybody a professional musician, but to expand their knowledge in different genres and show them ways to create and appreciate music. Read More
