About Me

Drums Singing Music Performance Music Recording Percussion Songwriting Guitar
My Specialties
I specialize in the following styles of playing: Rock, Hip - Hop, All Latin, Jazz, Funk, Blues, R and B, Gospel, and Dance. I also have a very good feel for World Music as well. I have a very free-spirit for playing, so I often mesh the above stated styles into a more progressive style of playing. I believe that you must be feeling what you are playing. Along with learning drum beats, students will also engage in drum tuning, reading drum charts, warm-up/skill-building exercises, and internal hearing. Aside from drums/percussion, I also specialize in beat programming/sequencing, recording, organizing song-writing/song-structure, musical score, live performance, and professional music marketing. I am able to show you how to use programs such as Reason 3.0, Logic Pro, Protools LE, and Adobe programs to take your creative abilities to the next level. I believe that these days, it is imperative for musicians to have four major components in their professional arsenal: 1) Discipline and chops on your instruments; 2) Know how to successfully market yourself and your music; 3) Know how to properly develop a learning ear to record/produce your songs/tracks; and 4) Understand and effectively utilize music production programs.

Henri is a experienced, friendly and patient guitar teacher. His lessons are engaging and helpful, his pace and direction make learning guitar inviting and beneficial. The only downside is his unique teaching studio, very small.

I AM TAKING BEGINNER SINGING LESSONS
Henri is a GREAT singing instructor! He is encouraging and always makes me feel excited about learning. Positive reinforcement is something that keeps me going, and that is something he does without a doubt. Not only am I lucky, but thankful to have a talented instructor who gives his all in planning and teaching singing lessons.
