Introduction: I am a full-time musician and percussion teacher. Having chosen to devote my career life to drumming, I teach and/or perform as my primary work focus. I stay active and involved with music on a daily basis. The experience a student gets from me is influenced by the musical lifestyle that I lead. I enjoy everything that I do with my work and this is reflected in my teaching style and method.
I like to hear about the goals that my students set for themselves and achieve. I have students who have prepared for auditions and made it into their school jazz band, church praise band, or rock band with like-minded musicians from the area. Having a part in their preparation that resulted in making their goal a reality is a wonderful feeling!
