I started teaching when I was 18, still in high school. I have been taking lessons for 15 years at that point, and felt the need to share my experiences and knowledge with everyone around me. I found a lesson studio that had students for me to teach and since then I have been teaching private lessons, group classes, drum circles and at the professional college level for 12 years. While teaching, I try toincorporate my professional experiences and relate those to concepts that the student is working on. Read More

My teaching experience has ranged from showing folks how to hold drum sticks and execute drum rolls to showing folks how to play hyper complex polyrhythmic prog metal songs. I am a very open and empathetic teacher who is sure to work well with anyone who has an actual drive to learn the drums and become a better drummer over time. My teaching philosophy is to ALWAYS practice drums with music. Read More
