Clinics

I think that playing percussion is pretty much best thing anyone could ever get to do, and I love having the opportunity to share my passion and enthusiasm with students and teachers who are working on their percussion skills!  My goal is to get students excited about the possibilities our art form has to offer, and about improving their skills so as to make the most of those possibilities.  And I love helping teachers improve the tools they have to provide students with life-changing musical opportunities!

Clinics are available in all areas of percussion and for all grades and ability levels, and are tailored to the needs of your group. 

I'm also available to speak to college music students about "real life" in the music education/percussion education world, to speak to fellow educators on issues of pedagogy and program structure, and to speak to administrators/band directors on advocacy issues.

Please contact me to let me know how I can help your group!  I can’t wait to share my love of percussion with you!
