Everybody is different and it's my job to explore all avenues that the student wants to accomplish in their musical experience.

I began teaching when I was halfway through college. I began teaching private students as well as drumlines at local high schools. I focus heavily on technique and self-expression in order to make music making as engaging and as fun as possible!

I highly encourage my students to practice every day for a minimum of 20 minutes in order to retain information as well as their technique. Read More
