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.
