    Discover a musical approach to percussion with a graduate of a top US music conservatory

    I am a state certified music teacher specializing in percussion performance and pedagogy. Whether you would just like to play your favorite songs on drum set, audition for your high school marching band, or try to attain the highest possible level of musical performance, I will be able to meet your needs. My lessons involve training in natural, instinctive musicianship in order to have stylistic and expressive approach to performance. Technique is an avenue to achieving those goals. My approach to music learning is based on sound before sight and experience before theory.
