Lessons

Music is a language, and like any language, your vocabulary is your best tool in expressing yourself. I take a vocabulary focused approach with my students - building their individual “musical dictionaries” so that they can tell their own stories with their instrument.

Lessons I offer:

  • As my primary instrument, the drum set is my main tool for musical expression. I teach a variety of styles including: rock, pop, jazz, metal, fusion, funk, Latin, and experimental.

  • With my degree in classical performance, I can teach you snare drum, timpani, 2 & 4 mallet percussion, orchestral accessories, and more.

  • Whether you’re in the drum line or front ensemble, I’ll help you develop the necessary chops, precision, and flow for your upcoming marching season.

  • Whether you’re just getting into production, or you need help taking your project to the next phase, I can teach you how to record, produce, mix, and master your own music.

  • In addition to instrumental lessons, I also offer music theory tutoring. I can help with music literacy, composition, ear training, AP exam prep, and more.

Pricing:

All lessons are $35/half hour, or $65/hour. Your first lesson is free.

My prices are negotiable for students and anyone unable to afford the above prices. If you are interested in taking lessons, please reach out and we can find a rate that works for you.

I offer in-person lessons and remote lessons at the same rate.

Production Services

I offer a number of audio/production services intended to realize your sonic vision. I can provide live instrumental performances, mixing, transcriptions, and more.

Services I offer:

  • No matter the style, I can help you take your compositions to full songs. I can help with everything from arranging to preparing a song for mix-down. Contact for pricing.

  • I will take your existing stems and mix and/or master them for professional release. Contact for pricing.

  • I can provide live or programmed drums, a variety of percussion, and a number of other instruments for your tracks. Contact for pricing.

  • I can help you get professional sounding audio for your podcast, video, or whatever other project you need to sound great. Contact for pricing.

  • Whether it’s a lead sheet, full score, drum part, or otherwise, I can provide you with high quality scores of whatever music you need. Contact for pricing.

Commissions

I accept commissions for original compositions, film/video/game scores or whatever weird project you have in mind. Prices vary by project. Please contact me to get an estimate for your project. And as with all my services, I offer discounted rates for students and anyone else trying to make art on a budget.
