Instructors

Scott draws on 40 years of professional performance and teaching experience to design a custom program for each student. 

Whatever your current level of ability, a combination of modern training tools and proven teaching methods will kick your technique, groove, musicianship, and creativity up a notch every week. You’ll have your own personal percussion trainer!

After forming a successful rock band in high school, Scott went on to perform with many well-known Pacific Northwest groups spanning every style of music, from jazz to world-beat, soul to rock & roll.  Yes, he even played with Kenny G back in the 70’s.

He also held the drum char in large and small jazz ensembles at the University of Washington, Western Washington University, Stanford, and Bellevue College, and studied privately with several of the best teachers in Washington and California.

Currently he’s gigging with the Eastside Modern Jazz Orchestra (modern big-band), Bahia (Latin jazz), Ruzivo (African marimba band), and the South Whidbey Jazz Collective.  Despite a  busy teaching and performing schedule, he’s constantly working to improve his own drumming using exactly the same techniques he offers to his students.
