I am currently teaching private in-person lessons in Southwest Washington at my private studio, Ridgefield Drum Studio. From beginner to advanced, all ages and experience levels are welcome.
I have over 20 years of experience as a working drummer and I’ve taught for just as long. I have extensive experience at the college level, as a clinician, and as a private instructor. I have been a faculty member at University Nevada Reno, Fresno State, and Musicians Institute, and I have given performance masterclasses and clinics at colleges and universities all over the U.S. I focus on rudiments & hand technique, 4-way coordination, reading, jazz, rock, Brazilian, orchestral/band, brushes, music theory/form/analysis, etc.
