Professional lessons with a personal touch

I have openings available for new drum students for private drum lessons

I teach at home in my drum studio with 2 sets of drums, where I can play side by side with my students

Learning by example is one of the important parts of the teaching process and is difficult to do sharing one set of drums

When teaching at the local music stores, the practice rooms are very small and only have room for one set of drums.

I have played in bands over the last 20 years and worked at a variety of local Music Stores teaching private lessons for the last 20 years.

I am currently the percussion instructor at Music Stadium Academy in Macomb Township.

Experienced in working with a number of local High School drum lines, I have developed a solid snare drum method of teaching.

I have also worked with many students preparing them for Solo Ensemble Festival and American Guild of Music Festival

I have also hosted and performed at a number of local Drum Clinics and Drum Jam Recitals.

* Teaching Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Levels

* Learn to read drum charts and develop your ear technique

* I work with Rudimental Snare Drum Technique and Drum Set Technique

* I teach multi styles of music including: Alternative, Rock, Metal, Funk, Country, Jazz, Classical

* Learn to play the songs that you choose and listen to

* I Work with metronomes to develop a solid feel and tempo

I teach all my students how to read music, develop strong ear technique and to learn how to improvise.

I like to make learning music fun. I feel a solid foundation starts with developing good practice habits in the beginning stages.
