For Beginners, I usually begin with very rudimentary stick control patterns to get used to how the stick feels in the hands. As the lessons progress, then I will instruct patterns on drumset if wanted. The student can request whatever style of drumming they would like to delve into, anywhere from latin percussion to jazz drumset. I like to keep lessons fun and engaging for students of all skill levels and ages, so along with assignments I will come up with improvised grooves and patterns on the spot Read More

Not only am I an accomplished musician, I am also a talented teacher. My hunger for effective teaching began as I often interacted with excellent musicians who were lacking only in their ability to teach their craft. My first experiences teaching percussion were at The Music School, formerly located in American Fork, Utah. There, I enjoyed giving private lessons to about 25 students who ranged from the ages of 5 to 50 years old. Read More

I have performed in marching band, percussion ensemble, big band, wind symphony and other various university ensembles. I have focused my playing through rigorous practice and pushing myself to play with great musicians. I always try to approach any situation by keeping mychin up, a positive attitude and listening to the musicians around me. This is how I do the best that I can. Sometimes successful sometimes not, but I always come away with more knowledge. Read More

I began teaching private lessons two years ago. I have taught about ten students in my life, and only taught them what they were specifically passionate about. I believe practicing is important, but I do not believe assigning homework is an effective way to make music fun for a student. Music is pointless without the will to learn and the desire to practice. Students will progress only as far they want to take their talents. Read More

Reading music is essential. To me musicians who don't know how to read music are like people who speak without undertsanding the meaning of the words they say. I also focus on ear training and understanding the instrument naturally, being that I feel its best for the player to have a mulititude of approaches to their understanding of their craft. Books I use in my methods are Carmine Appice Realistic Rock, Rockin Bass volumes 1 and 2, Mel Bay's Killer Fills, and Buddy Rich Snare Drum Rudiments. Read More
