What to expect in my Drum Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I understand that all students aren't created equal. I like to incorporate lesson plans that are unique to each individual student. I've worked with students with disabilities in the past and I like to make sure EVERYONE feels comfortable and welcome. I have experience preparing students for IL-MEA auditions, Solo & Ensemble, and numerous other competitions/auditions. Whether it's learning an advanced marimba solo or learning your favorite track on drum set-I can help you get there!
