Drums with Colin O.

Why hire me? Imagine for a moment that you need emergency heart surgery. Would you want your surgeon to have been taught by doctors who have only read about heart surgery, or taught by doctors who have both read about it AND continue operating? Your music comes from your heart, entrust it to professionals who can care for it and help it flourish! Make sure when hiring a teacher that your professional has 1) Theoretical knowledge (Book Smart) 2) Practical knowledge (is still working in the field) 3) the ability to teach. These three factors are essential in hiring a great teacher for you or your loved one to grow best. My Work: I have travelled the world performing, conducting, teaching, and composing. It has been a blessing to live and work in what I love and I want to help you do the same. Some highlights of my performing and composing are: Music composer for "The Dr. Oz Show", NASCAR, and "Access Hollywood". International classical composition commissions from Holland and Turkey. Music performances throughout the US, Brazil, Japan, Mongolia, Ireland, South Korea, Iceland, Holland, Germany, and Turkey! While I enjoy a range of styles, I am able to hone in and focus on your genre to get you the results you want. I get very vested in my students and celebrate vicariously when I see you attain new heights in music. My Teaching: I have taught private lessons throughout my career. I began teaching students in the late 1990's and have continued up to today. While online teaching is a new endeavor, private teaching is a love I have had for decades. Students of mine have gone on to work with professional ensembles and write songs for celebrities. Education and more can be found on my profile. I can also point you towards many more videos upon request. Let's talk and get started on this path together :) Want to know something about me? Just ask.
