Drums are a big part of my life! It is a great priviledge to share my passion and watch new students learn to enjoy music and drums as I have! Playing drums assists with cognitive learning in school and provides social and performance benefits when invoved in school music programs. I encourage my students to take every opportunity to perform and play music with others!
