He has studied music at Humber College and earned an Hon. B.F.A. in modern jazz studies from York University in Toronto. Ken teaches Cuban bongo playing, drumset, and Irish bodhran, mentoring students of all levels, from beginner to advanced.

 

His teaching emphasizes a musical approach to drumming rather than a strictly rudimental one, nurturing the craft of playing.

He believes that everyone has something valuable to contribute through their musical interests.
