Welcome to my drum studio! I’m a professional drummer here in Austin, and music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I earned my degree in Jazz Performance from UT Austin, where I got to immerse myself in all things rhythm and groove, while also picking up a business minor to help me navigate the music world. Teaching drums is one of my favorite things to do because it’s all about connecting with people and sharing the joy of music. My lessons are personalized to fit you—whether you’re just starting out, want to refine your technique, or dream of rocking the stage one day. I focus on building solid fundamentals, exploring different styles (jazz, rock, funk—you name it!), and most importantly, having fun while learning. When I’m not teaching, you can find me playing gigs around Austin or collaborating with other musicians. I know how important it is to feel supported as a learner and a musician, so my goal is to create a space where you feel encouraged, challenged, and inspired. Let’s get drumming and make some music together!

As a professional pianist, I've spent the last 40 years captivated by the nuances of music. My passion lies in nurturing talent and helping students, of all levels, discover the joy and fulfillment of playing the piano. Through tailored guidance and a sprinkle of humor, we'll embark on a rewarding musical journey together. My background combines 25 years as a school music teacher (M.A.Music Ed), and 40 years of performing jazz, pop and classical styles of music. I do have a fondness for swing and bossa nova, too! Students learn quickly that I don’t dictate what songs they must learn; on the contrary, they choose their favorites. The best part. : FIRST lesson is FREE!!
