Drums equal life.
My approach to music teaching is very simple—together, we're going to learn about drumming, and we're going to learn about life. We'll tackle everything from the ground up, and build a strong foundation for a personalized practice that will put you on a path to becoming the artist you want to be.

Learn music with an award-winning pro guitarist and music educator (Director of Guitar Program, Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts).
“Life is not about finding our limitations, it’s about finding infinity.” —Herbie Hancock
My teaching philosophy has three components:
- Teaching you what YOU want to learn
- Helping you draw connections between your personality and music
- Showing you the various paths that you can take as a musician
Whether it’s “Smoke on the Water” or “Giant Steps,” I’m ready to take you anywhere you want to go musically. I have experience teaching in almost all styles and genres, as well as all forms of notation and TABlature. Anything that doesn’t have a searchable transcription, we can always learn by ear together. I create shareable online documents for each of my students, recording your progress and your achievements, as well as audio or video recordings that will help you reach your goals (so you’ll never forget anything we worked on). I also encourage all of my students to reach out to me at any time for any questions or concerns they have, no matter how small it may be! I’m here for YOU, and the sky's the limit!
