I'm relatively new to the teaching life, but I love it regardless. I started in September of 2018 with one student who I taught throughout the semester, and seeing him grow throughout the months was satisfying unlike anything else I've experienced. I taught one student a semester due to my school commitments but still managed to teach them a lot and open their eyes to the world of music. I believe that teaching and passing down knowledge is how society gets better, including music. Read More

I believe that music is something the student should learn to become passionate about. Because of this, my teaching style is more relaxed. I want the students to work on what they are working on (homework from the lessons and songs) because they actually want to improve and become better musicians. I am an open person and am willing to work through any difficulties the student may be having (including mental barriers that may be holding the student back). Read More

The one thing I want out of my lessons is for the student to become passionate about the drums/music. I believe in the student taking their own pace as they progress through their lessons. I would like for my students to always be reaching for a goal, and having a plan on how they are going to achieve it. I want this to be challenging but fun. I want my students to look forward to having their drum lesson and then practicing later on! Read More

Typically, lesson plans are build around students goals. Some students may not have an interest in learning from a "traditional" approach from a book. Although this is highly recommended, I create different lesson plans for each individual student. I typically use and coach students from "Stick Control: for the snare drummer", "Syncopation for the modern drummer" and "The Blue Book" for drums. From time to time, I have also taught with "fakebook" charts for jazz drummers as well as play along tracks of various artists. Read More
