Bio

I shudder to think it, but I’ve played the drums for over 40 years now! and have played a wide range of musical styles in a range of settings. 

I’m a very experienced educator, having taught at universities and colleges in North America and Europe, and feel I have a strong ability  to connect with learners, understand what’s important to them, what their goals are and then guide them there.

​

It’s an eclectic and ever expanding range of music genres I like to listen to, but if you push me I’d have to say 70s and 80s British rock and pop are my favorites (Roxy Music, Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Police, The Who, Elvis Costello amongst many) as well as Jazz, Classical and Latin.

I started teaching drums here in Cochrane a few years ago after the parents of my son’s friend asked me to give him a few lessons; I really enjoyed sharing my knowledge and experience and from then have built a  good solid client base of learners from 6 to the wrong side of  50, helping them towards all sorts of different musical goals.
