About

I make it a point to go above and beyond in working with my students, whether it's answering their questions or helping them in purchasing a new instrument. I get excited when the student is able to do something that they weren't able to previously. I love seeing the progress of those I teach.

Paul has been a patient, excellent drum teacher to my five year old son. Even in the face of inferior equipment, a lax practice schedule, and occasional reluctance from our son, Paul has been steadfast, relaxed and enthusiastic. And my son has responded: he always comes away from the lessons happy and proud of his accomplishments. Paul has also gone above and beyond the job requirements -- when I had trouble knowing exactly what was needed, Paul searched for, found, purchased, and picked up the drum kit that we now have in our house. He has been truly stellar!

I took drum lessons from Paul for over 10 years and can honestly say that he is one of the most gifted, intuitive, and dedicated drum teachers you will find. He is not only passionate about the craft of drumming but also strives to communicate the concepts in the most clear and understandable way. When I began learning from Paul, I was 8 years old; and naturally, at that age, couldn't easily pick up on a lot of the lingo typically used to train an older student. Paul still willingly and excitedly took on the challenge, however, and worked with me through each phase of growth, adapting his teaching method to meet me at my level, all the way until I left for college. My years of training with Paul developed in me a passion for music that led me to pursue it through college. Thus, my senior year of high school, I auditioned to attend a private university in Virginia and received a full-tuition music scholarship. Upon graduating with a music degree, I moved to Nashville to pursue drumming full-time and have been blessed with the opportunity to drum on a number of national tours and Nashville sessions. My training with Paul has given me invaluable tools to face each musical situation with preparation and poise, and his mentorship continues to challenge me to be a better musician and a better student of my craft.

We booked Paul for a Cajon beginner group lesson during a management retreat. He was extremely responsive and cooperative. Also, our group enjoyed the lesson a lot and had a great time. Paul even supported the group after the lesson and sent us notes and tips for a little Cajon show the group wanted to perform the next day.

Paul is a great drum teacher. You'll be hard-pressed to find a more suitable drum teacher for yourself or your child. Not only does he have a good grasp of time and rhythm, he is by far the most patient music instructor I've come across. In the three month period my child took drum lessons with Paul, I was very happy to see how he discovered a new found sense of rhythm. I've also had the pleasure of sitting in on a few group sessions and was quite impressed with how Paul was able to innovatively calm and motivate even the rowdiest of children. As he does not heavily advertise himself, I feel very fortunate to have been introduced to Paul. I hope more people out there will have the opportunity to learn with him. Paul truly is a hidden gem in a sea of drum/music instructors.

One word that I can best describe Paul is: Inspiring. I believe that in order to be a good musician, performer, worshipper and especially teacher, one must be inspiring. Paul humbly has this attribute in all these areas. Even if you are not a worshipper yet, you will be inspired if you witness how he worships on the drums with his profound music talents. Paul is gifted in both playing and teaching music. The first time I sat in one of his classes, he was patiently teaching little kids how to drum. He has also been very patient and helpful towards me with my drumming. Although I understand the fundmental truth that I can do anything when I put my mind to it. The struggle has always been putting my mind to it. With Paul's help and practicing consistently, I have already improved within a short period of time. By his teaching and support along with my improvements, he has turned me into a believer. Thank you for your inspirations and effective lessons, Paul, and always doing so with a smile. :O)
