About

I teach drums and percussion. Marimba and vibes are a big love. Of course I teach students to read. The students always become the top students in their school. I have a big studio with all instruments including timpani.

I enjoy teaching students to enjoy playing music and becoming confident at playing all in the percussion family.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

Make sure the teacher has qualifications and experience, as well as good equipment/instruments to teach on. You also would want to be taught to read music and not only play by ear.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

If you are interesting in learning a musical instrument, you will have to be committed. Just as if it was a sport or a foreign language. It takes time and effort, a little bit everyday.
