Teaching Philosophy
I strongly believe that every student is unique, with different learning styles, goals, and musical interests. With this in mind, my approach is to initially focus on fundamental aspects during the initial lessons, such as stick handling, posture, wrist warm-ups, familiarizing students with the drum kit, and teaching them how to count, read, and write music. Simultaneously, I take the time to understand the student on a personal level, discovering their musical preferences, aspirations, and the specific songs they desire to learn. Based on this valuable insight, I create a tailored lesson plan that encompasses the essential foundations of drumming, while catering to their individual preferences and comprehension. By doing so, I aim to motivate and inspire my students to continue their lessons and practice diligently.
Musical Education
In 1998, I embarked on my drumming journey at a music school, where my first teacher imparted valuable knowledge. Eager to expand my skills, I pursued private lessons, delving into various styles including rock, pop, jazz, and Latin. Along the way, I also acquired the ability to teach myself. As my passion for drumming grew, I began sharing my expertise with fellow students at my high school in 2009. What started as a small endeavor quickly gained momentum, as more and more students became interested in learning from me.
Awards and Distinctions
As indicated in my profile, I have had the privilege of working in studios with numerous bands across a wide range of musical genres. This experience has granted me a deep appreciation and comprehensive understanding of various music styles, as well as proficiency in playing different percussion instruments. Consequently, I feel confident and at ease when teaching students about diverse musical genres and the intricacies of various percussion instruments.
Special Skills and Trainings
I possess a diverse skill set that extends beyond my expertise as a drummer. Over the years, I have taught myself to play the guitar, piano, and harmonica, although not to a level where I can confidently teach them. However, this knowledge and experience with multiple instruments have greatly enhanced my understanding of how each component functions within a band, ultimately making it easier to comprehend and teach drumming. Moreover, I bring several years of valuable experience as a full-time touring and studio musician, adding depth to my teaching approach.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
