Specialties
I've been playing the drums for more than 30 years now and I've been sharing my knowledge, experience, and love for the drums through teaching for more than 11 years. I believe music allows free expression and growth in ways that would be inaccessible without it. I believe in sharing my experiences, thoughts and ideas with people that are working on their own journey. I believe in helping people to reach their drumming goals. I believe playing music and collaborating with other drummers allows individuals to tap into their own creative areas of their brain that wouldn't normally be possible to do so alone. I give my students the tools they need for success. I teach my students proper technique so they can play as fast or as hard or as soft as they need to with little effort. I teach my students how to read music so they won't be limited to what they hear.
