Why I work well with kids?
I believe that music should always be fun and so should learning music. My lessons are all about the essentials of the instrument and being a musician. The approach is how to enjoy practicing as well as performing, and I make sure that kids have a good time at my lessons.

I work very well with kids of this age because, I teach in a way that makes things fun and most importantly interesting! I am extremely patient. I find it very gratifying to share my knowledge of music so they too can experience a lifetime of all the wonderful opportunities that I have.

Why I work well with kids?
I have been teaching lessons for over 10 years now and I think my success as a teacher comes from not only teaching students how to play the drums, but more importantly, how to enjoy music and have fun playing drums. As I grew up I played drums 4-6 hours a day and it wasn’t because anyone was forced me to play, it was because it was something I truly enjoyed. While teaching I keep my childhood experience in mind and always make it my first job to teach students how to enjoy playing.

Why I work well with kids?
I’m fun to be around and kids seem to resonate with that. We make sure to progress on the instrument while still making it about playing and enjoyment. Teaching for over ten years now to all ages has helped in being able to design a unique lesson based on each individual.

I’ve been teaching kids ages 4 and up for 15 years. It is my passion along with playing music. I have the experience and confidence to train any student to become a great musician. I have taught individually, in small groups as well as whole classes. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out what works best for each individual student.

Why I work well with kids?
I work well with kids because I’m patient, versatile, and easy to work with (and I love having fun with music!). I know each student has different interests and learning patterns, so I’m not hesitant to mix things up to get the point across. I never give up on trying to find ways to make sure a student understands.
