Trained to teach. Built on preparation.
From California to Seoul, Grace has spent years in the classroom passing on the same discipline and clarity of instruction she received at Musicians Institute and the Santa Clara Vanguard.
The work behind the music
Grace teaches the same preparation-first discipline she applies on stage. Students learn to listen harder than they play, adapt across styles, and show up ready — every single time.
Her classroom experience spans high school programs in California, Virginia, and Seoul — different contexts, the same standard of rigor.

Trained under Jeff Hamilton, Jason Harnell, and Chris Coleman — world-class instructors whose clarity of method Grace carries into every lesson she gives.
Marching with one of the country's top drum corps sharpened her precision under pressure — a standard she holds herself and her students to.
Taught and mentored percussion students across three regions, adapting her approach to each program's needs while keeping the same core standard.
