I’ve taught percussion for 20+ years—from first lessons to conservatory-bound students—and performed with ensembles including the Boston Symphony, Atlanta Symphony, Jacksonville Symphony, and more. My music is published with Tapspace and performed internationally. I’ve also collaborated with world-class artists such as Yo-Yo Ma, Andrea Bocelli, Joshua Bell, Art Garfunkel, Ben Folds, and Stix. Through Monkman Studios, my goal is to make high-quality percussion education accessible and reimbursement-friendly for families and schools.
