Teaching Philosophy: "My philosophy as a drum instructor centers on making music a joyful and transformative experience. I aim to create an inspiring environment where students of all levels feel empowered to explore their rhythm.
I believe passion is contagious. By sharing my love for drumming, I ignite that spark in students, showing them it's a form of self-expression and fulfillment. Practice should be engaging, not tedious. I use playful exercises and challenges to make learning fun and rewarding, encouraging students to embrace progress.
I encourage experimentation and improvisation. While emphasizing creativity, I also provide a strong technical foundation in technique and music reading.
Recognizing each student's unique goals and musical preferences, I tailor my approach to provide personalized guidance. I strive to be a mentor, fostering a lifelong love for music. My goal is to always create a dynamic learning experience where students develop their skills and discover the joy of making music, unlocking their inner drummer."
