Why Lessons?
Here’s how I think of it - a decent drum teacher may make a decent drummer. A good drum teacher may make a good musician (not just drummer). However, truly great music teachers make their students more well-rounded people, both in terms of music and life. I strive to be the latter, no matter the student, age, or background. Having a caring, attentive instructor not only prepares students for future musical endeavors, but for life in general.
Sharing my knowledge - whether it be about altered dominants chords or even tips on making musical connections - is one of my passions. Read more about my educational experience in the ‘About’ tab.

“I wanted to share that Bob’s music teacher sent us an email noting that Bob’s rhythm reading and control of hitting the drum sticks have improved significantly- which is a credit to you!
So thanks so much for your work with Bob.”
