Drums with Adam N.

I began my musical training at age 8, began playing professionally as a teenager, and have been teaching for 15 years. I graduated from Northern Kentucky University in 2011 with a Bachelors of Music Education, with a minor in Percussion Performance. I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to perform several nights a week around Austin, and to have toured the US multiple times during the past two years. In addition to teaching and performing, I have also written many works for concert band, jazz ensemble, and percussion ensemble. I began teaching private lessons and ensemble rehearsals in 1999, having since taught everything from elementary music and concert band to marching band and college-level drum corps. It's all about sharing the positive experience of performance and excellence with the next generation of musicians. In addition, I also enjoy coaching music theory and composition, and often encourage students to bring in their own compositions to review or perform.
