Music is about having fun and connecting with people. I believe that everyone has music inside of them and craves to be able to say something with that voice. In my lessons I prioritize having fun (with structure), building a solid foundation, and a holistic understanding of the fundamentals. However, every student is different and I love to make adjustments depending on my student’s needs and what they want to say with their musical voice.
Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to study with some incredible drummers such as: Matt Gartska, Xavier Ware, Thomas Pridgen, Willie Howell, Alex Cohen, Al Sergel, and Jason Singleton. I also studied traditional West African drumming in Ghana during the summer in 2025.
Currently living in Boone North Carolina, I teach lessons in-person.
My rate is 60$ an hour, 30$ for half an hour.
