Introduction: My work stands out from others because I focus less on formal training and discipline by centering lessons around what students really want to play. If your goal is to learn how to accompany a big band, I can teach you how to "set up" licks and accents. If your goal is to learn how to "jam" with a rock band, I will teach you. If you simply want to learn how to play your favorite songs, we will break those down and learn section by section.
The best part of my job is seeing others feel happy and accomplished after learning a tough beat/rudiment/song, etc. They can truly see and feel accomplished when being guided by laid back, supportive instruction.
