Brian’s teaching philosophy is that of patients and understanding that all students are different and are inspired in different ways. Through goal setting we reach a place of euphoric creativity which allows the student’s ability to soar beyond their wildest imagination. This teaches them self-esteem, discipline and dedication in whatever they’re trying to achieve now and for the rest of their lives. Brian works confidently with each student, personalizing each effort to realize the student’s best potential. All of this focus will be applied to genres of music such as: Rock, Jazz, Latin, Blues, World and more!

Brian has worked drumming in theater and marching percussion ensembles as well as master clinics for drum set . He currently performs with Picante Soul (latin dance band North of Bostom) and  Jetta -singer- songwriter (R&B). Brian was also producer  for the cd, “Jetta”.
