I am happy to announce a new partnership with ReverbLessons.com and excellent service for connecting people interested in music. It’s 2016 and the technology exists to communicate and exchange information at blazing speeds all over the world! In an instant we could be chatting about music via Skype or setting up an individualized plan of study. The vehicle exists and all we need to do is jump in.

Check it out here!

Enjoy the summer!

Meghan was nice enough to take a couple pictures while I was practicing the other day. This one turned out nicely, so I though I would share it with you. Be on the lookout you could see more of this setting.

I’ve begun to check the D’Addario Education Collective. Check out my profile at here.

The quick update for those curious is that teaching is going very well and a planning shows with the JPJQ and Rugby. Check back for more soon.

Hi Everyone,

I’ve recently joined Ethos Music Inc. as an onsite percussion instructor for two group classes and private lessons. I have an off-site appointment teaching percussion ensemble as well. If you are interested in percussion lessons and live near North Portland be sure to check-in with Ethos Music. I hope to see you there!

Hi Everyone!

Right now I’m on an adventure in Portland, Oregon (USA)! Currently I am researching arts organizations, performance ensembles, schools, and careers in arts administration. If you have a favourite organization, band, or venue please feel free to leave it in the comments section. Making new connections is certainly a great way to spend the summer months.

Also for friends and family in the Mid-West, we’ll be around soon so stay tuned! Feel free to send me a Facebook Message or Email should you want to hang out! I am looking forward to visiting with y’all.

Each year around this time people make resolutions and set goals. A few years ago I set a goal to get a couple of new cymbals. Just a reminder that the goals you set in 2015 may not happen immediately, but sticking with it is the only way it even has a chance of happening.

Happy New Year!

September is coming to a close in a couple of days. It’s been a great month! Just to recap I had awesome performances with Adrian Glynn + Fringe Percussion, the Ethos Collective, Tubes and Grooves, and a solo vibraphone performance for the grand re-opening of the Salina Cheng Music Academy.

As a teacher I was recently invited to join the faculty at the Sarah McLachlan School of Music, which is really exciting. Working with young percussionists is very energetic and enjoyable!
