Learn from Great Vibraphone Teachers

I am a multi-instrumentalist, composer and educator. I have performed professionally since 1993, with over 3,000 professional engagements since then as drummer, jazz vibraphonist, orchestral/theater percussionist, and even some guitar and bass. From 1999 until 2010 I averaged over 150 gigs a year, typically with dozens of bandleaders and contractors in a single year.

Hello! I'm Kevin and it's nice to meet you. Before I dive into myself, my one goal in teaching is to give you a happy and healthy relationship with music. That's it! If you walk away from our lessons, be it one or for years, I want you to always have a relationship with music that makes you smile. When you go see a movie, you appreciate the score.

I've been playing percussion for over 20 years. I am a tenured percussionist with the Houston Ballet Orchestra and perform regularly with the Houston Symphony Orchestra, San Antonio Symphony, and Ft. Worth Symphony. I hold two music performance degrees from Baylor and Rice University.

I am a passionate music teacher, performer, and songwriter with a deep belief in music as a path to self-expression, connection, and transformation. With years of experience across multiple genres — from rock and blues to world music and singer-songwriter traditions — I guide students not just in technique, but in finding their unique voice and musical identity.

I am a classically trained percussionist with a Master of Music from the University of Michigan and a Bachelor of Music from Central Michigan University. My performance background includes regular appearances with the Saginaw Bay Symphony Orchestra and the Michigan Sinfonietta Orchestra.
