Teaching has been some of the most gratifying work I’ve done. Looking back on the past year and how much has changed, the time spent cultivating the space and the curriculum has been so worthwhile. I’ve gotten to know so many people, connecting with them through what inspires them, seeing the things in music that gets them excited; it’s so cool. It’s a real privilege to know the students I teach. It reminds me of how passionate I was when I started out and how this wonderful medium of expression has changed for me over the years. I’m grateful to do this now, I’m grateful to have played drums for as long as I have; it’s been a gratifying journey.
