About

I’ve been playing drums for over 35 years and have provided private lessons for 15 years. My lessons focus not only technique and timing but also on learning the history of drums and the mechanics of the drum set. I feel that by learning about the history of the drums and how drums and percussion products work students gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the instrument. Of course if you just would like help in learning a particular song I can help with that as well.

Playing an instrument helps in the development of a child's brain and also has a healing element for adults. Helping people, young and old, learn how to play the drums is very satisfying and brings me great joy. Knowing that it may also help people or develop a childs mind is also a great bonus to what I do.
