Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Flute, Drums

I began teaching private lessons two years ago. I have taught about ten students in my life, and only taught them what they were specifically passionate about.

My teaching experience has ranged from showing folks how to hold drum sticks and execute drum rolls to showing folks how to play hyper complex polyrhythmic prog metal songs.

My teaching philosophy is to ALWAYS practice drums with music. Read More

I want to see my students grow. I want my students to share with me what music makes them want to grow. I have had the honor of performing with many amazing musicians, probably some of the best.
