About
With more than 25 years of experience under my belt, I have honed my skills in drum and percussion performance and teaching. I prioritize the individual needs, abilities, and aspirations of each student to guarantee a seamless learning journey. My approach involves integrating technique and musicality to ensure natural progress in the student's mastery of the craft.

It brings me immense joy to witness students explore their inherent potential and evolve into better versions of themselves through the practice and study of music. Witnessing the emergence of a student's creative voice is a unique privilege.

I offer virtual lessons via Zoom for utmost convenience.

Earlier this year, I contacted Wes seeking assistance in motivating myself to experiment with drumming. Although I possessed some proficiency, I sensed a lack of progress. Our lessons have been conducted exclusively on a virtual platform which has proven to be functional. Wes has provided me with encouragement, accountability, and direction by introducing various genres of music. Currently, I am enjoying learning Latin styles that were previously unfamiliar to me. Moreover, he assists me in recognizing the universality of music lessons. Irrespective of one's proficiency, if one seeks to learn from an accomplished percussionist and delightful person, I highly recommend contacting Wes.

For nearly two years, I have been receiving weekly lessons from Wes, who has been instrumental in advancing my abilities. I strongly endorse him as an instructor.

I've had the opportunity to learn from several drum teachers in recent years, but in my opinion, Wes stands out as the best investment. Wes is a knowledgeable, patient, adaptable, and, above all, amiable instructor who tailors each session to target areas for improvement and align with your passions. For the past few months, I've been attending hour-long classes taught by Wes biweekly, and I'm thrilled to see gradual improvement in my abilities and mastery of new skills. I rate him 6/5 stars!

Our son's drumming skills have greatly improved, all thanks to Wes's exceptional drum tutoring. Our son eagerly awaits his drumming lessons with Wes. Wes possesses a unique ability to impart the basics of drums and sheet music reading to kids while challenging them to unleash their maximum potential. Our son particularly delights in playing alongside Wes during the lessons.

Wes is an outstanding drum player and educator. He's also a wonderful person overall. Despite being in my late 40s, I've made significant progress thanks to his mentoring. With his support, I am now able to play complex tunes. Furthermore, my perspective on my potential has shifted. I owe it all to Wes!
