Educator
As an avid educator, I believe in giving back and informing other about all that I have been fortunate enough to learn. I am currently an Artist Lecturer at Carnegie Mellon University, and a Part Time Instructor at University of Pittsburgh. In the past I have occasionally worked for Duquesne University, and Community College of Allegheny County.
In addition to teaching in an academic setting. I have been teaching privately since 2000. Private lessons include instruction in a variety of topics and instruments such as hand percussion, drum set, piano, guitar, electronic music, music theory and composition. I am willing to teach anyone what I have learned as well as helping students learn their own musical interests.
