I have played drums for 16 years and I have played guitar and bass for around 10 years. I have never formally taught instruments for money. I have experience teaching drums to friends and it was a great experience. It is great to see someone start to absorb the information that you're giving them. Drums are about slowly increasing complexity and knowing when to introduce new concepts to the mix. What always seems to solidify knowledge and help rhythm when I have taught friends in the past is when I pick up a guitar and play along with the student as they play drums, once they've learned a part or a song.

Nothing is more rewarding that seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace.

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

Studying intensively at Mesa College was both rewarding as it was challenging, but working with my Berklee mentors was without question the moments that helped me as a musician, and I wish to share that with all aspiring students.

I understand it's easy to lose drive when you're constantly drilling scales and fingering. I try to frame all of my lessons in reference to what music really is: the creation of songs. Through composition, my students won't just learn scale and chord structure, but they'll organically develop these skills while writing their own songs and building their personal portfolio. Beginning with chord progressions and harmonies, then moving into melodies and filling up the sonic landscape of the piece. Read More
