About Me:ShowMy approach to teaching is made of two elements: listening and expressing. In order to play what you want to express, I believe you need to hear it first. Then you need to be able to play what you hear. I believe each student deserves an individual lesson plan. I would be happy to provide practice materials selected according to each student's musical goal.

About Me:ShowPlaying the drums is about playing music. Playing music involves energy, emotion and creativity. The ultimate goal is to maintain these elements in the practice room as a way to stay connected to the purpose, which is to play music and have fun. In learning how to play drumset, there is a certain amount of technique that must be mastered through practice and repetition. The development of this technique is an ongoing process that takes time. How much technique the student desires is completely up to them. Remember, the purpose is to play music. Technique should never overpower (or underpower) the ability to play good music. That being said, there are many styles of music that can be played effectively without the possession of a lot of technique. This is good, especially for beginning students because they can play good music almost immediately, that is, if they are playing with energy, emotion and feeling. As a teacher I can help students with not only technique, but with music. How do you play with energy, emotion and feeling? How do you groove? How do you relax and play in the moment? How do you listen? These are all concepts that I teach, and I feel that they are as important, or more important than developing good technique. Remember, the goal is to play good music, and I help students in attaining this goal. Beyond this, I teach the basics of rudiments, playing solid time, reading, many different styles, improvisation, dynamics, soloing and other topics. Lessons are catered to the interests of the student.

About Me:ShowMusic is an instrument for teaching about life as well as the art. I teach you how to analyze the music from the beginning of our lessons so that you don't have to consult the teacher every time. I encourage creativity and individuality in your expression, and make it a point to connect music to other parts of your life so that new concepts are more easily understood. Also I will help you understand the story behind the music.

About Me:ShowWith singing, we utilize this approach: technique that follows in this order: body stretching, breathing, diction, range and pitch building and repertoire, where we focus on perfecting songs and working on stage presence, eliminating stage fright and creating personality. For the piano and drums, we start with scales and theory, which helps to build performance.
