Piano with Brandon M.

Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, Brandons first musical experiences were on a child size drum set given to him on his 6th Christmas.Then i started learning some of the basic fundamentals of drumming from playing in church.Like funk, and reggae an blues. Brandon finally took music seriously in MiddleSchool and began taking lessons from Dustin Haner, a member of the very first graduating class of the USC Thornton Music and Peter Eriskin now a teacher at the Thornton School. After studying under these talented individuals, Brandon went on to pursue his education in music where he graduated from Cal State Fullerton University in 2008 with a degree in Music. After college, Brandon began work as a freelance musician and percussion teacher, teaching hundreds of students in the Long Beach and La, CA area. In July 2008 he relocated to Boston, MA, where he attend school, teaches, freelances, and plays drums and percussion in local/national funk/jazz/rock/reggae groups. *** Lesson Details *** I am a very easy going, friendly individual who believes that learning music is built upon a strong relationship between teacher and student. And most importantly the desire to LEARN and have FUN. I approach teaching music by knowing and understanding the student's musical goals, and teaching fundamentals, theory, and technique through the style(s) of music that the student wants to learn. For beginners, I tend to teach subjectively to find out what really makes them tick... *** Studio Equipment *** second room w/ drum set turned into a studio couch for seating for parents *** Travel Equipment *** I will provide the book material and songs an song lists. I expect the student to have there own instrument.
