April / May Update!

Things have been a little bit crazy around the drum studio these past few months.  I didn't get the chance to do an April update so I'll combine both months.  Lots of positive change is in the air! 

The biggest change that happened recently is that I resigned from playing with Party Jones!  It was a good 9 year run but it was time for me to step away and focus more on my family and my teaching.  I'm not resigning from playing live altogether though.  I hope to sub here and there in various bands and seek new and exciting playing opportunities with a less hectic schedule!

My student load is in the low 70s now and I'm teaching 6 days a week and loving every moment of it.  Not a day goes by where I'm not grateful for what I do.  This summer I plan on going on some trips with the family.  I'm very much looking forward to the rest of this year and what it has to offer.

Paul Wertico, multiple Grammy Award winning drummer is now a member of the Professional Drum Teachers Guild!  His work with Pat Metheny is incredible.

I plan on sharing either via video or blog some major practice breakthroughs I've had with my own playing that I believe can help others.  Stay tuned for more information coming in the future.
