About

I have over fifteen years of performance experience with orchestral percussion, hand percussion, and drum set, including master classes at Berklee College of Music taught by such legends as Mike Mangini, John Blackwell, and Richard Flanagan. I have performed in university drumlines, orchestras, electronic music acts, and nationally-touring rock bands, and I can provide guidance with nearly every genre-- from school concert bands to rock, jazz, hip-hop, funk, blues, latin, metal, and everything in between.

My lessons are tailored to your goals and may include exercises involving rudiments, sight-reading, soloing, improvisation, studio preparation, and communication techniques used for performing with other musicians.

I know how frustrating it can be to feel stuck or not know where to go next, and I am committed to showing you how to push through whatever setbacks and resistance you're facing whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player. Your breakthrough is my breakthrough!

Finally, I currently work with public schools in Jefferson County, Denver County, and Boulder County, and am fingerprinted and background-check certified by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.

    Frequently asked questions

    I assess their current skill level, desires, and needs and develop a custom curriculum just for them. This may include the use of rudiments, technique adjustment, sight-reading, play-alongs, etc. 

    I also have experience teaching students with special needs and learning disabilities, and I will provide a lesson plan that helps them succeed as well. 

    Five years experience teaching private & group lessons in Northern Colorado and the Denver Metro area. 

    Online & In-person: $25 per half-hour $50 per hour Add $15 for travel

    I've taught all skill levels aged 5 to 67 but the majority of my students are in middle or high school. As previously mentioned, I also have given lessons to learning-disabled students and students with special needs. 

    Look for someone who rewards progress, not perfection. You don't need to know exactly what you want to learn on drums, but if you can tell your teacher ANYTHING you do want to learn, that will help us make it fun for you!
