He is super supportive and gives you the tools to know how to make yourself better on your own. Amazing teacher.
My son is a percussionist at Denver School of the Arts and, thanks to Steve’s guidance and encouragement, as a sophomore he was selected to play in both the Denver Young Artists Orchestra as well as the Colorado All-State orchestra. Additionally, Steve is extremely supportive and has motivated my son through both highs and lows. As a parent, I am grateful for Steve’s open communication, his organization, and his emphasis on technique. My son just thinks that Steve is “super chill” and awesome. In short, Steve is a terrific instructor and a fantastic mentor. We highly recommend him!
He is an amazing teacher!
Steve has been a wonderful teacher and mentor for my son for several years now. He is that rare combination of being a high level, working professional musician, a passionate educator, and a well rounded, relatable human being that cares and goes the extra mile for his students. He is extremely versatile and can shift from deep dives into the vast world of percussion to the many genres of drum set playing and beyond.
If you are looking for a teacher that will guide you towards building a precise and solid foundation, provide a container to discover your own unique musical voice, and/or deepen your level of artistry as a percussionist/drummer, you will be in great hands with Steve!View more recommendations
