Class Experience

My approach to teaching is to first assess my students current interests and abilities and then design a personalized curriculum for them which will combine both music theory and notation reading with play by ear skills. The main focus is help students reach their goals while also developing into a well rounded musician. I'm comfortable with students of any age and with any special needs! Instruments taught include; drum set, djembe, congas, bongos, Middle Eastern percussion, hand pan, Brazilian percussion, and mallet percussion.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
I'm a professional drummer, percussionist, educator, composer, and multimedia artist. I most recently was the drummer for Blue Man Group in Shanghai. I also was a principal performer in the cast of the NYC Broadway show STOMP. As a freelance drummer, I've also toured with various recording artists and production outfits such as; Miki Howard, Street Drum Corps, and Royal Caribbean Productions. I've studied theory and performance at Santa Monica College, as well as privately with Pete Korpela (Lion King, Josh Groban), Sean Ritenauer (NY Philharmonic), and Alejandro Carvajal (Afro-Cuban). In the marching percussion world, I received a bronze medal at the 2012 WGI Championships while marching with Orange County Independent. As an educator, I've taught marching and concert percussion at Bosco Tech High School, as well as both drum set and hand percussion to children and adults at the School of Rock franchise and at my private studio.
