When students/parents ask what my main instrument is, the short answer is "drums, but it depends on what I'm doing". It's a hard question to answer in the moments I'm usually trying to get back on the road to another lesson, so I will address it more fully here. The long answer addresses how I approach teaching music, regardless of the instrument. To learn what my experience and playing/teaching abilities are on each instrument, please select below. 

• Drums/Battery Percussion
• Keyboard/Mallet Percussion
• Guitar

Here are some key points in understanding music from a multi-instrumental perspective (links under construction!):

• Music Theory is approached differently on different instruments
• Polyphonic vs. monophonic instruments
• Rhythmic vs melodic instruments
• Instruments with short and long sustain
• How harmony is affected by frequency range
• Intuitive vs. non-intuitive instruments
• Acoustic vs. electric vs. sampled instruments
