I teach, by request
I am not a professional instructor. However, I am an enthusiastic drummer with a wealth of knowledge and experience. My goal is to help people forge their own path.
My belief is that music belongs to everyone and to no one. Learning its language is just the beginning of the conversation with ourselves, with each other, and with the source. We are vessels.
Improvisation is a fundamental and should be started early. Let's start listening, feeling, trusting, and connecting.
