About

I think my work stands out because I truly care about my students and their needs. I love working with people one on one and the things I learn from them. Most of my student don't realize how much I learn from them. My younger students are so great because they are not afraid to try anything! No matter how complicated something may be, they will not hesitate to try it. This inspires me on a daily basis and I am constantly trying to incorporate this "fearlessness" into my everyday life as well as passing this along to my older, wiser students. Everyone learns in a different way and it's a challenge to try and find new ways to teach the same material.

Jeff Howe Music has been a wonderful experience. When I explained that I was hesitant about leaving my daughter alone with someone we did not know, Jeff was very understanding and made accommodations so I could sit in on the lessons. That gave me the chance to see his teaching firsthand. He is an excellent instructor who keeps students motivated by using positive reinforcement throughout the lessons. These days I no longer sit in on them, and my daughter is really enjoying learning guitar.

Initially we meet through email, then a detailed phone call where I try to find out how I can best serve each student. Then we discuss logistics and times available.

I'm always on the lookout for any drum clinics in the area as well as talking and sharing ideas with my drumming friends.
