*** Lesson Details ***
I do my absolute best to create a positive atmosphere for my students. Even when the students feel frustrated or stressed, it is important to inspire them and give them the fuel that they need. Though I am strict when it comes to homework and their about their studies. Every lesson at the beginning I will review what we learned previously and test them.
then begin with proper breathing technique exercises, the cornerstone of all vocals. We move on to vocal exercises to condition the voice. Then we work on the songs that you are eager to sing!

I will use a piano when doing vocal warm ups and conditioning exercises. Students that play other instruments and accompany themselves when performing (such as a guitar) are encouraged to bring that instrument to their lessons. My goal is for them to gain the knowledge that they need to help reach their artistic goals.
With all my lessons every student will be taught a basic run down of Music Theory. My students will always progress in what they do. They will have the discipline that they need and yet have fun and be filled with inspiration. Which is the most important thing, to be Inspired to do better.

*** Studio Equipment ***
iMac, condensing mic...performing mic, keyboard, mixer...living room of apartment.

*** Travel Equipment ***
I do have a portable keyboard. Though I do expect the student to have their own recording device and karaoke tracks. At Home I do have a studio, and if the students has an iPod or an Mp3 player I can attach it to a device where all of us can hear the tracks. I do have a recording studio as well.

*** Specialties ***
I specialize in Musical Theatre, and Pop rock genres. When I teach my students I always have them learn a song of another language whether it's Spanish or Japanese. It helps with diction when they learn a song outside the English Language. Also It helps them to learn another Language at the same time. Also I give them a little anatomy class when they are learning how to sing. I give them a model of the vocal Chords and different areas of the Larynx and which part works for the chest voice and the head voice.

*** Lesson Details ***
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with really really simply technique to understand, easy to understand. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce "Rudiments" and sight reading. For adults, I try to find out what the student is interested in, and guide my instruction accordingly to keep the lessons engaging and fun, no matter their ability level.

Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs.

with the band XYZ.

After that, I continued to jam with other bands and do various studio recording gigs. I also picked up a bunch of students and began my teaching career. Teaching has always been a passion of mine as I get a kick out of sharing my ideas and seeing my students progress so fast and come back each week with their own ideas that they have taken from my own. No 2 drummers are the same and I approach each student with a customized curriculum according to what they want and what I believe they will need in order to get there.

I strongly believe in hand rudiments as this is the foundation of all drumming. If you are limited in your hand technique, you will be limited around the kit. I have studied extensively with many teachers on the Buddy Rich method. Still to this day, Buddy has always been known as a drummer with amazing hands and that's why he will always be remembered as one of the greatest drummers of all time.

My goal is to teach you everything that I have learned from my teachers in a fun and professional environment with focus on developing great hands. I have short cuts to get you to reach your goals faster with "tricks" that I have learned over the years and will save you years of wasted time. As long as you're willing to put in the practice time and work hard,I will guarantee you results......FAST! Lets do this!
