Biography:

As a native of beautiful Whidbey Island, Kit enjoys the privilege of serving the northern Puget Sound region as an enthusiastic percussion instructor and frequent musical presenter/coach in local schools.  Since 2004, he's worked with more than two hundred private percussion students, and have reached thousands of additional students (and their parents and teachers) through dozens of masterclasses, percussion and composing coaching sessions, and performances at schools throughout the Pacific Northwest.  Many of his students have worked hard to grow into fine musicians, and their increasingly compelling music-making has earned them numerous solo and ensemble contest performance awards on both the regional and state levels, as well as successful auditions into the United States Army Band, the Seattle Seahawks’ Blue Thunder Drum Line, the Seattle Cascades Drum Corps, California School of the Arts, Cornish College of the Arts, Western Washington University, Washington State University, and many more.  It’s a real joy to share a part of each student’s journey to personal and musical maturity and Kit looks forward to working with you!
