Hey!

Over the last two decades I have:

• Played in front of thousands of people on stage with several Grammy award winning artists and speakers.

• Been able to travel with my congas and have been blessed to get paid to do what I love. (Playing percussion of course!)

• Have been able to play percussion with bands rounding genres from traditional latin, pop, celtic, gospel, jazz, rock, and contemporary rock just to name a few.

However, even after playing in front of thousands I still receive great joy when I am able to pull out a drum during a family gathering and enjoy myself as I watch family members dance around the drum.

Whatever your reasons are for learning to play the cajon, congas, bongos, or other percussion instruments I have learned that the single most critical thing when it comes to learning is to practice CORRECTLY. Learning the correct techniques will not only get you playing faster, but they will also protect your hands from one of the many injuries that incorrect conga players suffer.  Over the years I have taught hundreds of students via the internet, in person, and have enjoyed seeing them move from the frustration of trying to learn to becoming passionate about new techniques through my lessons.
