Studio Space and Instrument Photos
My spacious studio is in a beautiful, rural setting. Quiet enough for recording and designed to inspire a focus on the musical experience at hand – practicing, teaching, learning, rehearsing, performing, composing, improvising.
Instruments
My personal concert marimba is the heart of my studio (Yamaha YM6000, Serial No. 10). In addition to this, my students have the use of the highest quality professional musical instruments including:

Music Library and Other Resources
Students have access to my extensive audio and sheet music library which I have built up over my career as a performer and percussion educator. In addition I draw on my extensive mallet and stick collection when teaching so students may expand their experience and concepts of sound without the expense of purchasing mallets.
