My passion for teaching goes beyond the scope of music and extends to the personal development of each student. This approach demands thoughtfulness and patience--to customize a vision that best fits the needs and skill set of the individual. I encourage my students to communicate what they want out of their drum lessons; this allows me to formulate musical goals that are informed by the students' personal interest.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned veteran, I am a firm advocate of developing a rock solid foundation -- hand technique, 4 way-coordination, time keeping, reading, dynamics, musicianship, transcription, ear training, feel, and groove.
