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 have been teaching music since 2012. I began in Denver Colorado teaching in home lessons on various instruments through various companies. As my teaching skills progressed so did my love for teaching. That inspired me to open my own private lessons studio.

After some time off from teaching I realized how much I missed it and decided to start pursuing it again. Read More

I teach students biased on my drum philosophy that encompass rudiments, groove, and 4 way coordination. From beginners to professionals we help drummers refine their technique, learn a variety of rudiments and how they apply those to fills and grooves, in addition to helping them to gain 4 way independence. After the student works their way through various a grooves, rudiments, and 4 way coordination exercises then they begin to learn how those skills translate into playing with an ensemble. Read More

As previously mentioned, i do believe in the saying that the best you can do is good enough. I expect students to practice equal to the amount they wish to improve. How quickly or slowly someone grows on their instrument is often a simple result of time spent working. But making music is incredibly fun and i make every effort to keep the time spent doing the study fun.  For the drums i tend to buy into the philosophy that playing a first complete rhythm on the drumset as soon as possible, regardless of how basic it may be is important for keeping a student motivated.
