Classes are tailored to learner interests and focus will be driven on a variety of genres appropriate to the study of the drum kit and matching learner interests.

Private lessons are the ultimate, personalized class where we can focus on specific learner development, questions, and interests. Time will be dedicated to partnering with the learner as they develop their interests, style, and exploration of the drum kit.
Sample topics in a private lesson format include:

- building stamina and technical control
- building fills and transitions
- understanding style factors and expressing those in performance

For over a decade, I have provided music instruction across all instruments and ensembles for PreK through high school. My students have gone on to successful careers, with many performing in music. My skills of learning one instrument and effectively transferring that understanding to many other instruments have served me well as a school music educator. I earned a Master's of Music from the University of Tennessee for general, vocal, and instrumental education. My innovative teaching and dedication to music education have gained various industry recognition. I ensure my students receive appropriate teaching methods that help them effectively and safely develop their potential. Thank you for choosing me to be part of your journey.Reviews
