Jordan's primary goal in teaching is to help students understand not just the dynamics of rhythm and music itself, but also the function of their own physical bodies and minds, as it directly pertains to their musical competency.

About

Jordan also has a diligent passion towards teaching the joy of music to children and adults who live with mental and/or physical health conditions.

Jordan is a local from Maple Valley who graduated from Tahoma Senior High School in 2013. During his second year, he became a co-founder and Bassline Captain of the Tahoma Drumline (at the time named the THS Bear Battery). Subsequently, he dedicated all of his extracurricular time towards the Drumline, marching band, and jazz band. Aside from many other musical and academic achievements in his Highschool years, a more notable one to him is when he placed first at Regional Solo+Ensemble Competition with a self composed drum solo, then proceeded to place in seven separate categories of competition the following year.

As a multi-instrumentalist with a BA in Music Performance from North Central University (2018, Minneapolis, MN), Jordan has professionally been pursuing musical proficiency from a compositional and highly relational perspective. While at NCU, he studied Jazz, World Music, Audio Production, and began his professional gigging career. He has been passionately developing his skills on Drums, Piano, and Music Composition since age 11.

After college, Jordan returned to WA and moved to Tacoma, where he joined a touring R&B/Top-40's cover band, Harmonious Funk Band, for four years. At that time he also had close to 50 private music students in Olympia, WA. Due to unexpected life changes, Jordan stepped down from these roles, sold his house in Tacoma, and moved back to his home-town of Maple Valley in 2021. Since then, Jordan has completely rededicated himself to the pursuit of music and drums to the fullest extent. Through developing his online presence, Jordan has recently made connections around the world to many extremely talented musical professionals, many of whom he works with regularly.

Jordan's favorite genres of music are:
Heavy Metal, Math-Rock, Jazz, Classical, R&B/Hip-Hop, Fusion, World, Ambient/Soundscape, EDM, and Primus.
