About

Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a musician that has lived in Nashville since 2018 with almost 20 years experience and a bachelor's degree in music education from Western Kentucky University. I am primarily a drummer/percussionist but I am also able to teach beginner level piano and music theory. I have taught and worked with all age groups and my number one goal is to make whatever it is you're trying to learn FUN. Otherwise, what's the point?

Each person that decides to take lessons with me will have lessons customized to their individual goals and needs. Everyone learns differently and I am here to help you become the best version of yourself!

I loved working with Adam because of his patience during times I was confused during lessons. If there were ever times I was scratching my head, he was always able to deduce what I was doing wrong; and he taught me how to recognize and remedy the mistake moving forward. Not to mention, how he was able to call me out -when I clearly was not doing something right, while simultaneously having no idea that I wasnt doing whatever thing right- with professionalism and grace. I never felt like a dope. Although I was a student, I always felt like there was a sense of equal respect -and that he was always willing to pass the torch and pass his knowledge. So grateful I got to work with him, and Im so excited to work with him again in the future!
