Teaching experience: 13 years Years Playing Experience: 23 years. I'm comfortable teaching: Under 6 Years Children, Young Adults, Adults. Spoken Languages: English My Gender: Male. I began playing percussion/drums at the age of 12. Over the years, I developed my skills further by playing in: Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Full Orchestra, Jazz Band, and Drum line! I gained performance experience in the Denver metro area by playing at such venues as Red Rocks, several band and Jazz band competitions, as well as, traveling the state and even the country playing drum line competitions, including taking 1st place at Nationals my freshman and sophomore year of high school!! Also was in a couple pretty big local bands where we would play the Blue Bird, the Gothic, Cervantes, the Fillmore, etc...with acts such as Forever Departed and Private Reserve. Though I can teach many different genres of music, my musical personal favorites are jazz and rock kit playing, concert/Symphonic band, and of course drumline which had great influence on my style of playing. I love music because it's my escape from trouble and helps me regroup. Not to mention it is SO FUN! I love teaching music because of my late father who was a band director for 34 years and he instilled in me my love for all things music! I'm very eclectic and LOVE ALL genres of music! Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, I can help you expand and enhance your playing. I am excited to learn how I can help you reach your musical goals.
