When taking on beginner students, I typically use a blend of method books and novice musical pieces to begin to build musicianship. With intermediate musicians, I tend to seek out anything of interet to the student while incorporating harder repertoire to strengthen musicianship and to continue to peek interest in music. With adult musicians, I let them guide me to their area of interest, and I capitalize on that to guide them to better musicianship, no matter what their skill level may be. Read More

I have been studying drums for well over 17 years! I love playing, learning, and teaching drums. It's all I ever think about. I began studying Jazz drumming throughout high school, and have performed, toured, and recorded with many bands since. I have become locally acclaimed with my affiliation for local Utah music festivals such as Desert Rocks Music Festival, Powellpalooza, Uncle Uncanny's Summer Sessions, and Psych Lake City. In 2012 I toured heavily all over North America and Europe including Turkey and Greece with a Psychedellic rock band called Radio Moscow. Read More

I'm passionate about seeing a beginning student just starting out evolve into a professional musician playing out with bands. I let students progress at their own pace and keep the lessons fun and interesting.

I help students set realistic goals for the progression of their playing so they can avoid frustration. Read More

I want to find out each student's skill level, and start from there. For beginners, I try to keep thing informal and fun while teaching basics without putting any pressure to get into the technical stuff like hand technique and reading until they're ready.

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. In 2018 my fiancé and I decided to move from the front range back to Grand Junction to be closer to family. After some time off from teaching I realized how much I missed it and decided to start pursuing it again. Read More
