--TEACHING MISSION STATEMENT--

For Teacher and Students to perform, teach and record music at the highest level in all styles, focusing on groove, listening and working with others, reading, improvisation, technique and tasteful integration of modern technology.

FOCUS ON THREE AREAS...
• Rudiments and stick control to increase speed, accuracy and endurance

• Reading and writing rhythms

• Drumset fluency in many styles using many grooves, using fills and soloing / improvising effectively and musically, through the use of clicktrack/metronome, pre-recorded tracks, and recording yourself in lessons.

STUDYING WITH A TEACHER WILL GREATLY INCREASE YOUR FUNCTIONALITY RATE AS A MUSICIAN. Stop guessing and study proven methods. Did you know that musicians study their craft just as long or even longer than Doctors and Lawyers do? You'd never think on picking up Cardiology on your own? So why think that you could become a great drummer by yourself. Not to say it's impossible but you could definitely enjoy your success sooner with the help of a seasoned professional drummer who has been teaching for many years. Call now.
