About Me
I try to teach my students how important it is to listen to themselves play. When appropriate, I bring a guitar or bass (depending on the student's need) and help the student learn how drums relate to the rest of the music.

Lesson Details
I will start by talking to the student and/or parent about what the student would like to accomplish from the lessons and what, if any, musical background the student already has. It's OK if you don't have any experience at all.

Happy dad
Enrique is very good with my son Jordan. He is very patient and keeps Jordan interested and challenged. Jordan is learning quickly thanks to Enrique's ability to explain everything in a very straight forward manor.

Requesed feedback
Enrique has been working with Aren for months now and Aren is excited to go to lessons and tell me about what he has learned. Enrique certainly has an excellent rapport with Aren and cares a great deal in terms of teaching Aren and Aren keeping up with his practice so he can advance to more difficult techniques. I would definitely recommend Enrique for other kids learning the drums as this has been a very positive experience for Aren.
