My experience teaching started back in 2006 when I began teaching for a local music school. It was good to get some experience and I enjoyed it. I then started to teach for a website service and got top pro status for this site. Top pro status meant keeping and retaining students, and getting great reviews. I then started teaching for music academy in Sandy and was there over 4 years. I really enjoyed teaching there. Read More

I'm a pssionate musician and music teacher. I enjoy sharing my passion with students. I spend much of my time composing and teaching. I graduated from Lewis and Clark College in 2012 with a major in English and a heavy emphasis on music. I have studied African drumming, electronic music, classical music and jazz. I am well versed in hip hop as well. I have stayed tru to my roots and focused on mostly acoustic music, but my range transfers over to electric as well. Read More

My goal is to always make my students feel valued and for them to get what they want out of their lessons. If you work with me you can expect to dive deep into the realm of music theory but also to learn the music that you're interested in. Teaching has taught me more about music then I ever thought imaginable and there's always something new to learn on our journey together. Read More

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

For beginners, I like to start with the basics. Students will learn proper stick positions, basic rhythms, tempo, and count. A lot of work is done primarily on the snare drum, progressing to the full set when the student is ready.

I am using a Roland V-Drums electronic set for instruction, so any source of music can be played through the set, and the drums then mixed in with the song. Read More
