Lesson Details

The most important rule about music is to have fun! There's no point in learning any instrument if your not enjoying yourself. With that being said, It's also very important to develop your skills because the better you get, the more you'll enjoy playing your instrument. A good balance between feeling challenged and enjoying the learning process is crucial and a good teacher will always maintain this balance. My Goal is to help you become a confident and musical drummer in any style that you ... choose.

“Ehud studied, recorded and toured with some of New York City’s finest. While working at The Collective, he has shown a keen ability to extract various techniques from these great teachers and incorporate them into his own unique teaching approach. His method is thorough and practical. He has become very popular among our students for his ability to train across varied styles using contemporary methods. As a graduate of both The Collective and The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, Ehud’s knowledge of the contemporary music scene is broad and current. This enables him to offer students updated material that is relevant and can meet their practical needs in “real life” situations.” >Peter Retzlaff, Director of Curriculum Committee, Drummers Collective, NYC. http://www.drummerscollective.com

About

My love for music began at the age of 2 when my mother first took me to a small local music school. Ever since that day, I have always found myself studying one type of instrument or another. My sound as a drummer, composer, producer and instructor is a culmination of my experience across varied genres. Following a yearlong intensive training at the renowned Collective School of Music in Manhattan, I pursued a BFA degree at the famous New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. I majored in ... music performance as a drummer and graduated with honors. While at school, I trained under some of New York City's finest. I have successfully extracted various techniques from these distinguished musicians and incorporated them into my own distinct style. During my years at the New School, I also worked at the renowned Drummers Collective School of Music, where I taught privately, and played gigs at various clubs throughout the City. After graduating, I decided to move to Los Angeles where I currently teach at the South Pasadena Music Conservatory and at my private studio in Hollywood. In addition to teaching, I spend much of my time in recording studios working with professional musicians as well as composing my own work. I highly enjoy improvising and I'm constantly seeking ways to develop new ideas. My passion for performance, composition, production, and instruction challenges me to sharpen my method on an ongoing basis and drives my commitment to excellence in music.
