About

I have been a private music teacher teaching Drums and Guitar in the High Desert Since 1981. My students enjoy coming to there lessons! I like to work with them and help them to understand and grow on their instrument. Many of my student through the years have succeeded in band programs in schools and the community. Along with the music theory and explanations, we play exercises together and have great workouts for helping to achieve the musical skills necessary to greatly improve performance.

I enjoy what I do. It is a passion and I love working with people of all ages learn and master their skills in music.

Let me help you learn and achieve your musical passion too!
