Kevin prides himself on being a jack-of-all trades Musician, Designer, Photographer, Web Developer, and Computer Tech professionally as well as an avid DIYer of home projects and woodworking. He enjoys merging technical knowledge with creative endeavors and has always had a passion for learning how things work. He takes this passion with him into the lesson room where he conforms to the student’s musical wants and needs while also ensuring they are provided the essential knowledge and skills required for their respective instrument. He has coached many students over the years to prepare for auditions and be accepted into Jazz Bands, Concert Bands and Rock Groups or simply prepare them for playing in front of an audience. Whether the student’s intention is to play at home for their own pleasure or eventually make a career out of music, Kevin is happy to provide them with a path to achieve their goals.
