Current Projects
Aside from performing 5 nights a week at the Flamingo and traveling with "Mr. Las Vegas" ... Wayne Newton and teaching privately, I am also involved with the following projects.
"Drum Enchanted Evening" ... I conduct percussion workshops for the City of Las Vegas in a program called, "New Directions YouthArts." The program is geared towards the youth, ages 13-17 who are either recovering from drugs, have behavioral issues, are incarcerated or runaways.
"Percussion Enchantment"... I also lead a percussion quartet. We give assembly performances in the Clark County School District. We introduce and demonstrate world percussion instruments then play them as an ensemble with emphasis on group "teamwork!"
I'm also making shekeres, rainsticks, denim bags for small light-weight percussion (please see the Hand-made Percussion page) and teaching privately.
