I like to understand a student on a musical level, thus letting their ability level and their drive push me in the direction most useful for the student's success. I encourage them by setting specified goals and show them how to attain them while guiding them through any necessary musical concepts they may meet along the way. I gain from my students' accomplishments a sense of pride, which makes me work just as hard for my students as they do for me. Read More

For children I will typically start with Hal Leonard's Drums 1. I will use examples that build upon each other until we can construct full beats, playing along with a wide repertoire of music.

For adults I will find the interests of the students and build my lessons around that, adding examples from the most relevant sources. Read More

The student needs to understand why they are learning the rudiment, tendencies of poor technique and how to monitor progress. Read More
