“I believe in creating a very strong foundation based upon mastering basic technique, reading, rudiments and timekeeping. Through this, we can then work together to develop a sound and approach that will be applicable to a number of styles such as Jazz, Rock, Funk, Latin and Hip Hop. It is my goal to prepare the student for whatever creative and stylistic avenue they want to pursue with their playing, education and career”
