Depending on the age and personality, I cater each lesson to the individual. If they are younger students, I'll use Mel Bay or Hal Leonard books, but sometimes I will make a custom book that builds with their development and learning style. I believe reading sheet music is important, but understand that being able to play along with other musicians using ear training and improv skills, as well as reading chord charts, is just as necessary.

Aloha mai kakou! My name is Sam and I am a music teacher in the Four Corners region. I grew up in the Hawaiian Islands in a family of musicians, and learned how to play and perform on multiple instruments, surrounded by many different genres of music. After spending years in high school playing in different bands and traveling Hawai'i, I moved to Wisconsin to attend Lawrence University, a liberal arts college and music conservatory where I continued to perform and hone my techniques and teaching skills.

I've always felt a calling to music; as a child I took choir for three years and then hand bells for another three years in high school. Finally, sitting for the first time at a drum kit in 2013, I discovered my true love for percussion.

During this time I had the opportunity to begin assisting as a drum tech for a local band. Read More
