About Jack
I am a dedicated percussionist and educator currently studying Percussion Performance and Music Education at the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance, one of the top music schools in the country. My musical journey has taken me from earning First Chair Percussion in the Maryland All-State Orchestra (2023) to performing internationally with UMich’s top orchestra, including tours to South Africa and a concert at Carnegie Hall. Since 2017, I have also been the drummer for the rock band Karousel, performing regularly and recording original music. This wide range of experience—from elite classical ensembles to high-energy rock shows—gives me a unique perspective as a teacher, allowing me to guide students through multiple styles and performance settings. I bring the same professionalism and focus to my lessons that I bring to the stage: clear communication, structured learning plans, and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. Whether you’re learning your first rudiment or preparing for a conservatory audition, I will meet you at your skill level and help you achieve your musical goals!

Hi! I’m a percussion performance and music education student at the University of Michigan’s School of Music, Theatre & Dance. I’ve been performing and teaching for years—whether on classical percussion or drum set, I love helping students discover their sound and build real confidence.

I focus on: - Proper technique and posture to prevent injury and improve sound - Musical expression: playing with confidence, emotion, and clarity - A balance between reading, listening, and improvisation skills all depending on the student’s interests - Connecting exercises to real-world playing situations Lesson structure A typical lesson with me can include anything from learning your favorite song on the drums to perfecting your latest marimba solo. What sets me apart: - Experience in both elite classical ensembles and professional gigging bands - Training at one of the top music schools in the country - Ability to teach multiple percussion disciplines in the same lesson - A young, energetic, supportive, and relatable teaching style that meets you where you are Who these lessons are for: - Beginner to advanced percussionists of all ages - Students preparing for auditions, recitals, or competitions - Rock, jazz, and pop drummers looking to improve their playing or just get started - Classical players seeking to refine orchestral, solo, or chamber skills
