Instruments: Voice, Saxophone, Clarinet

My joy is to see progress and growth in my students. I also enjoy seeing their love of music develop.  I take each student where they are: beginner or advanced, and put goals in place for them.  Such goals can be things like learning music for solo and ensemble band / orchestra competitions, performing in their Church, or putting together a jazz band or classical ensemble for concerts. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Drums

No single approach works with every student when teaching drums. There are simply too many styles and methods to choose from.

There are many excelent published methods to choose from and I occasionally assign etudes and excersizes of my own. Read More
