Percussion Lessons in Boring. Amazing Teachers.

Did you want to sound like drum line? I can help you get there using techniques that suit your needs.

I am a Baltimore-based percussionist with both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Percussion Performance from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University.

For over a decade, I have honed my craft as a professional musician by working with world-renowned faculty, competing and performing internationally, and instructing all ages and skill levels. During my time at Peabody, I actively sought out and gained exposure to every aspect of the percussion world, from Orchestral music to Jazz improvisation, from chamber groups and symphonies to solo performances. Additionally, I have years of experience teaching percussion in private lesson formats.

Experienced Music teacher of 8 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of their instrument and theory skills. I specialize in all styles. Typically, I use a variety of method books to pick from to meet the needs of the students. I also have many tools available to use during lessons.
My students have gone on to NYSSMA and on to college auditions successfully!
