I take a practical, hands-on approach to teaching music, focusing on both technical proficiency and creative expression.

- Recording & Production Integration – For those interested, I teach how to record and mix drums, helping students understand how to get the best drum sound in a studio or home setup.
- Live Performance Coaching – I guide students on how to play with confidence in a band setting, including tempo control, adaptability, and stage presence.
