I have been a full-time professional musician for 10 years. I’ve studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston and in the private hands of Virgil Donati, Mike Mangini, and Terry Hanson. I currently maintain a 30 student per week schedule as well as averaging 150+ performances per year.
My students learn everything from basic rudiment functions to advanced 4-way coordination exercises. I believe in catering to the educational needs and desires of each student as an individual. I also teach in “band” environments where I play guitar or bass and sing along with the students while they play songs that we are developing. This provides the students with a sense of experience which I believe is only learned hands-on.
