I’ve been playing music all my life. I preform every weekend. My main instrument is guitar, but I’m well versed in bass, drums, and voice. I love teaching music and pay close attention to my students progress. I focus my teaching style on the needs of my students. Each person has their own way of learning and their own personal music goals. In other words, my curriculum changes from student to student based on their specific musical desires. My goal is to find what inspires you the most in your musical journey and I focus on that. My influences are too many to list. I believe all musical genres have something to offer. I am not fixed to a single style and love to work on my ability in all genres. I hope to have a lesson with you soon! Private Education: I continue to study and practice everyday.

Years of Experience: 40 Location Options: In Home Travel Radius: 10 Genres: Rock, Blues, Country Age Groups: Children, Young Adult Instruments Taught: Drum Lessons Overview: Istarted learning drums and piano at age 8 with formal lessons. I began playing drums in bands professionally at 15 and continue to this day. While pursuing my career in broadcasting, I kept playing the wedding band circuit to keep food on the table. It was through my broadcasting colleagues, (they would ask me to teach their kids how to play drums), that I discovered that I loved teaching young kids. Playing an instrument and being a musician is the best thing that can happen to any young mind. Most of my performance experience came from the New Jersey/New York area. I recently moved to Austin, TX because of its vibrant music scene. * Formal Education: Associates Degree County College of Morris - 1977 Private Education: John Havasta ndash; 2000-2005 Karl Latham ndash; 2006-2009 Performing Experience: Another Day ndash; Rock nrsquo; ldquo;Chicagordquo; type horn band ndash; 1971-1975 Joyride ndash; Club/Weddings ndash; 1979-1985/1989-1992 Mind Over Matter ndash; Jazz Fusion ndash; 1985-1987 Pressure Cookers ndash; Blues ndash; 1998-2002 Sparta, NJ Stage Theatre ndash; Pit Band, Live plays ndash; 2003-2004 8 Days of Blues ndash; Blues ndash; 2006-2008 Driftwood Moon Band ndash; Classic Rock - 2010 Experience Teaching: 4 Years-My focus, and real joy, is on the young (8-15) children/students with the desire to learn to play the drum kit. Over the past couple years, the ldquo;Rock Bandrdquo; video game experience has brought students to me who want to learn more! I really enjoy working with this age group because so much potential is evident and I love to see them grow into the instrument. I keep the lessons fun with lots of emphasis on playing the kit and teaching the importance of keeping time and doing the fun fills. Through different methods and techniques I customize lessons to the individual student. I have also taught adults who wanted to find their inner rock star.
