As a teacher, musician, and person, I am passionate about sharing the joy and transformative power of music with others. For me, drumming is not just a skill, but a way of life. It is a means of expression, communication, and connection that transcends language and cultural barriers. My approach to teaching is rooted in the belief that every person has the ability to learn and grow as a musician. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative learning environment, where students feel empowered to explore their creativity and take risks. I understand that every student is unique, with their own strengths, challenges, and goals, and I tailor my teaching style and curriculum to meet their individual needs. In addition to my formal training at Humber College and with Trinity College London, I have had the privilege of studying privately with some of the most respected drummers in the world. These experiences have not only helped me to develop my own skills as a musician, but have also influenced my approach to teaching. I believe that a great teacher must also be a great student, always open to learning and growing. So, whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, I am committed to helping you achieve your musical goals and discover the joy of drumming. With a focus on developing your physical technique, musicality, and most importantly, having fun, my lessons are designed to challenge and inspire you to reach your full potential. If you are interested in studying with me and embarking on this exciting musical journey, it would be an honor to have the opportunity to be your teacher.
I'm a drummer currently in my second semester at Humber College, where I am pursuing a degree in music. At Humber, I've had the opportunity to learn from some of the best drummers and musicians in the industry, which has allowed me to deepen my understanding of rhythm, music theory, and performance. In addition to my studies at Humber, I hold an Advanced diploma (LTCL) in music performance from Trinity College London. This rigorous program not only provided me with a strong foundation in technical skills and performance, but also exposed me to a range of styles and approaches to drumming. Additionally, I have been fortunate enough to study privately with some of the world's best drummers. Their expertise and mentorship has not only helped me to refine my technique and musicality, but has also influenced my teaching style.

Home visit fee: $15 minimum fee. Teachers may negotiate a higher travel fee if the travel distance is longer than they are comfortable with. Most arrangements use the minimum fee.
One-Time Family Registration: $25. This covers your entire family for life - once you're in, everyone can take lessons!
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!
