Everyone is different so I work with those differences and create a completely customized instruction that is made only for that one student. I focus on a student's weakness' and not only teach them how to solve that particular problem, but how to solve other future problems. I teach my students how to teach themselves. The best teacher you will EVER have is yourself! I help my students realize their importance in the music universe. It is a serious responsibility to be an artist and I teach my students to respect it and value their place as an artist. I have always had positive responses from my students and they always come back for more lessons. I mainly play drums but I teach ALL instruments! I PROMISE if you study with me, you will discover so much about your potential as a musician! *** Studio Equipment *** 2 Drum Sets 1 Nord Keyboard 1 Guitar/Vocals/Keyboard Amp 1 Guitar Amp 1 Bass Amp MANY Percussion Equipment (ask for details) *** Travel Equipment *** MTA *** Specialties *** I mainly play drums and percussion but I also teach improvisation for all instruments.
