With over 30 years of professional playing and nearly 10 years teaching experience Steve has passed on his drumset knowledge to students of all ages and skill levels. His expertise, derived from years of study, disciplined practice and diverse musical experiences including touring, recording and TV work has been an  inspiration for hundreds of veteran and novice drummers reaching for and achieving incredible levels of playing skill through his private instruction.
Steve’s young protegé Anthony Di Millo at the ripe old age of 14 has already played on stage with world renowned drummer/clinician Dom Famularo at the Montreal Drum
Festival and won a coveted spot by auditioning to play snare drum on stage with Shania Twain on her hit “If You’re Not In It For Love” in front of thousands of people at Ottawa’s Corel Centre.
Connor Whitehead, 15, also a great young talent and student of Steve’s was the youngest of 18 teenagers chosen from hundreds of applicants across the country to compete in “Rock Camp” a CBC TV reality based show featuring four bands battling it out for a shot at a recording contract with EMI.

Here are some testimonials from some of Steve’s students:

“Steve is a great music teacher because I’ve learned more with him in a few lessons than I’ve learned in a year with any other music teacher. I can play things I thought I would never be able to play. It seems like there is nothing he doesn’t know about drumming.”
