Beginners obtain a strong foundation in reading. They develop effective practice habits and learn a variety of musical styles. Advanced students come to improve their technical skills and to broaden their musical scope. Through the years I have played and taught all styles of music and the aspects of drumming. As a musician with over 30 years of professional experience, I customize my lessons to suit the needs and abilities of each student.
