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!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Establish a working relationship with my new student! Show them what I will begin to cover and get them on a track to begin. Introduce the techniques and theory and ways to practice to and assign their first lesson. I teach them to practice and apply the skills for successful completion of each weeks lesson. Enjoy and share their accomplishments and watching them grow!
