Percussion & Music Lessons Available for all Ages
Do you have a son or daughter playing Percussion in the school band? Let me put my considerable experience and education to work improving their skills while fostering passion for music and percussion.

Eleven Years Experience
With 14 years teaching and playing professionally, you are sure to see steady progress and the joy that comes with it for your son or daughter.

In My Studio or Your Home
I have a private studio, but I am more the happy to visit your home or arrange lessons at your child’s school. Please refer to my Vitae for my experience and references.

Please note my commitment to incorporate the nine national standards as a curricular goal for each student.

National Standards

1. Singing, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music
2. Performing on instruments, alone and with others, a varied repertoire of music
3. Improvising melodies, variations, and accompaniments
4. Composing and arranging music within specified guidelines
5. Reading and notating music
6. Listening to, analyzing, and describing music
7. Evaluating music and music performances
8. Understanding relationships between music, the other arts, and disciplines outside the arts
9. Understanding music in relation to history and culture
   

These goals are vital to the continued success of public school music programs and should be used as check list for any music curriculum. Learning music should be fun! Thank you.
