Teaching Philosophy
I believe in creating a very strong foundation based upon mastering basic technique, reading, rudiments, and timekeeping. Through this, we can then work together to develop a sound and approach that will be applicable to a number of styles such as Jazz, Rock, Funk, Latin, and Hip Hop. My goal is to prepare the student for whatever creative and stylistic avenue he or she wants to pursue with their playing, education, and possible career in music.Education
