I have been playing drums for 12 years, and been singing since childhood. I am currently a senior at McNally Smith college of music, working on finishing a Bachelor's degree in Music Production. I have performed with country, Latin, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and rock bands in a variety of rolls, and am well versed in many instruments and styles. Currently I am working with a hip-hop/funk group, a country group, and a nine-piece rock band called The Human Empire that I am very proud of.

In addition to my ongoing musical studies, I have been teaching individual and group lessons for a little over 10 years. The largest group that I ever taught at once consisted of more than 60 students!

A love of music began in the third grade. I started on a silver metal clarinet and have not stopped playing. I am a musician, composer, arranger and performer. I hold a B.A. in music and have taught in the schools for 22 years. I bring extensive knowledge and humor to my teaching. I enjoy working with all age levels and pride myself on being intensely positive.
