I have been playing music in many kinds of bands and ensembles since the early 1980's. In the late 80's and early 90's I was the drummer for the Seattle grunge band, "Violet Grey." After moving to Portland to go to college I played in the Concordia University String Ensemble and a number of rock bands, including, "Apostolic Tackle-Box," "Andy's Dandies," and "the Quick." I played in the folk duo, "Agile Grapefruit," and I have led praise bands at a number of local churches. Read More

I have been playing for 13 years and am extremely passionate about playing and teaching. I am currently the drum instructor at Northwest Christian Univeristy and perform in their Touring group.I spent some time in Nashville at the Contemporary Music Center Performing every week and even played on a small tour as their drummer. Performing is one of the greatest experiences I have ever had, and I want to pass on my passion and inspire those who love to play to practice everyday. Read More

I like too see where the study is playing-wise and design a custom learning plan for the student and his/her goals and help them reach their goals quicker with a planned practice schedule. I also start students off with reading which helps them better understand rhythm and being able to read music is a huge plus in todays music world. It also allows the student to get more done from practice sessions in my experience. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Drums, Accordion, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Music, Djembe
I love teaching rudiments, exercises, and other valuable strategies for piano, accordion, and especially percussion! The most amazing point is seeing a student improve from where they began, no matter the amount of struggle they endure. I am a firm believer of having a student excel and learn at their own pace and the last thing I want is for a student to feel overwhelmed or even become discouraged. Setting goals is important and all goals set are realistic and reachable, no matter how small. Read More
