I'm eager to share over 20 years of drumming experience with students of all ages. Learning an instrument is a fun, fulfilling challenge, and I ground my instruction in solid fundamentals without ever losing sight of the joy that comes from hitting things with sticks.

​

Each student can expect to learn, grow, and improve in a manner tailored to his or her ability level and unique approach to the instrument. I supplement my own experience with the expertise I gained as a Drum Performance student at the world-renowned Musician's Institute and my studies with master drum educators Bruce Becker and Mike Heller.

​

• Learn or improve hand and foot technique, and refine body mechanics, eliminating or preventing bad habits.

• Become musically literate. Learn to count, subdivide, read, and chart music.

• Discover new grooves, fills, and chops. Challenge your independence, and apply polyrhythms.

• Master technology: music apps, click tracks, sampling, and programming.
