My education includes an Honours Artist's Diploma in Applied Music from Mohawk College as well as several years of private study with masters who have published several books about drumming.

I am also very experienced on stage, regularly performing music of all styles from rock, r&b and jazz to reggae, hip hop and world music.

I have taught students of all ages ranging from kids as young as 6 years old to adults, from a beginner level to advanced.

Why bother with parking, traffic, and distractions? Now you can save both time and money with music lessons IN YOUR OWN HOME.

I teach students of any age anywhere in the GTA. If you see ads like this one watch out! If you want to be the victim of burglary, identity theft , or even rape, there is no better way than to allow a stranger into your home who is posing as a music teacher who will show up for 1-3 lessons until they get what they want - your financial information, a set of keys, or the layout of your home!
