  Educator

  Private, focused drum instruction from my home teaching studio in Tigard, OR. I utilize my education, professional experience, instruments and a variety of teaching materials to guide students through their own musical journey. Together, we cover learning the fundamentals of drumming and how it fits into making music, reading music, playing standard grooves, playing with other musicians, and helping them to reach their potential all while learning to play with confidence. Students are encouraged to set short-term, attainable goals and are able to achieve these goals within a reasonable amount of time, often sooner than expected. Results are realized immediately when the student puts in the time and effort and expectations are always clarified from day one.I utilize books from the "drummers canon" as well as visual tools, play-along tools, and live playing with me either side-by-side on the drum kit next to the student, or with me on bass guitar. I use two drum sets as well as practice pads for demonstrating concepts and ideas. I also demonstrate Bob Gatzen's concept of "pracicology" (practice-ology) so that students maximize their practice environment and practice time correctly to realize results quickly and gain confidence sooner.
