I am a percussionist based in the Chicago suburbs with degrees in music education and performance. I have experience teaching students both privately and in small/large group settings both through school districts and independently.

I have multiple years of experience teaching snare drum and drumset lessons, and have taught percussionists working on marching techniques and concert styles.
