Drum Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Drums, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Conga, Latin Percussion

I strive to provide students with the tools needed to master musical skills. I also strive to be creative, nurturing and most of all, patient. It is very rewarding to see a student of mine excel in their musical endeavors. Every student may learn at their own pace but I build them all up so that the end result is the same: musical mastery. I strongly believe that repetition and practice is the key to great success and i use that belief to make sure that the material is learned as well as retained. Read More

After gaining a full schedule of students, I decided to initiate semester recitals to allow students the opportunity to perform in front of an audience. It is one of my favorite memories as an instructor! The pride on a student's face after they've demonstrated something at which they've worked so hard is the ultimate reward of teaching. After completing my teaching degree at Texas State University and accepting a full-time position, I devoted myself to my new career and no longer taught music lessons. Read More

For beginning students I will start with fundamentals, music theory and basic music reading lessons. For more advanced students I teach those same methods but will also apply improvisation and song writing to the lessons with my own “4 Steps to Song Writing” method.

I have been professionally teaching music since my college days, as an music instructor for a community group at the Neenah Public Library and locally at San Juan College through the Community Learning Center, both in person and online. These environments allowed me to work with a wide range of students simultaneously, from elementary school age to retirees. Though I took time to address these students as a group, I spent a good amount of time working with students individually and tailoring my lessons to their specific needs. Read More
