Lesson Details

I work to develop a vocabulary on the drum set that translates through all styles of music. My lessons employ a routine that works well for beginners as well as more advanced players by the option to add difficulty incrementally. This routine gives consistency to the lessons and makes it easy to gauge progress. I teach my students to read music and I explain music theory as it applies to the exercises and work at hand.

I teach beginning Bass Guitar as well. In these lessons I focus on ... Scales, Rhythm, and beginning music theory.

Some of the groups I've played / recorded with are: Atma, Kiss Her For The Kid, Leanne Wilkins, Carrie Akre, and Stereo Sons.
