My main philosophy is that every student is different and should be treated accordingly. The methods I use are specifically tailored to each student and can be methods that I have learned or developed myself. I start students off by asking them collect ideas about their instrument and the music they enjoy. From that point, I begin to simultaneously teach technique and musicianship in relation to their expressed interests. The key to my teaching method is that I ask difficult questions and then I give the student time to think and develop an answer. Read More

As an analyst I developed a fascination with the science and theory of music and as an intuitive person with the raw mysteries of improvised playing. I have a degree in Music Composition with a focus in piano and guitar. I have been teaching ever since I developed my own understanding of Music Theory. I have always been fascinated with teaching music to others and developing new ways of understanding. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I love drumming, and love teaching it! I teach from my own written material inspired by my music experience at school and the lessons I've been taught over the years. I have written hundreds of pages of exercises from which to pull for virtually every difficulty and style. I have played literally thousands of original and cover songs with many bands. I can play and teach the drum parts to virtually any song simply by hearing it, and I've heard more music than the average musician. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I start every lesson with the first lesson from my book called DRUM STUFF. It's what I call Basic Beat # 1 and it is the foundation on ANY song in 4/4 timing. As the student progesses, we work on other lessons with the goal of playing songs from various publishing companies, music they may have from band or songs I have personally written out or that they may have heard on the radio.

I started teaching occasional private lessons while attending college. Though this started with teaching my friends, it branched out to some strangers as well. After graduating, I started teaching at a lesson studio, maintaining a steady roster of 20-25 students every week. Teaching has definitely helped me develop my own knowledge of my instrument as well! I have found that in addition to simply teaching concepts, talking about my past experiences learning my instrument helps students connect with the material at a deeper level because they can trace a path from where they are to where I am, ability-wise.
