Drum Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Drums

My love and passion as a musician has brought me the upmost bliss and joy. In 2012, I was recruited to instruct Pinnacle High School's Percussion section, primarily focusing on the drum line and since then I have not missed a single season of being an instructor at 6 different high schools in the Phoenix, AZ area. My objective as a teacher is to provide students with the knowledge to not only excel in music but to apply those skills to everyday life. Read More

I have a lifelong passion for music, with my passion being in drumming and percussion but having a great deal of experience in trombone and a strong knowledge of guitar as well.  I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2008 with Honors in Music.  I have just recently traveled to Ghana for a 10-month trip to study traditional drumming, Afrobeat drum set style, and more. I also traveled to Ghana in the summers of 2007 and 2008 on grants through Wesleyan allowing me to study traditional drumming more in depth from master drummers there. Read More

I started teaching when I first got my drivers license in order to maintain an income that was related to music. I quickly learned that I was quite decent at explaining concepts and connecting with students on different levels. When I was 19 I started working at the School Of Rock where I taught group classes, 1 on 1, and helped put shows on based on curriculum that I was given by the school. Read More
