I completed -with honours- the very  intensive one-year course offered at Musicians Institute covering a vast amount of training and knowledge, from reading, technique, soloing and many styles of music. Instructors included: Joe Porcaro, Ralph Humphrey, Efrain Toro, Toss Panos and many more...
I have been a member of Drum Channel for years, I've completed many of their courses and take online lessons with Phil Maturano for continued study and further development.

In my own private teaching practice, I’ve had students from as young as 5  all the way up to 60. I absolutely love teaching and designing practice routines that make a positive impact on the student. I am very good at inspiring the student and guiding him/her to achieve their own goals.
