Drum Lessons Southwest

Instruments: Piano, Drums

I like to set my students up for success. My job as a teacher is to help them reach their goals but also introduce them to other styles and methods that can lead to alternatives never before seen by them.

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 believe that teaching and passing down knowledge is how society gets better, including music. Read More
