    About Jordan B.

    Hey guys, I'm Jordan B., and I'm a graduate of Musician's Institute in Hollywood with 10+ years of recording, playing, and teaching experience. If you're just getting started playing drums, or if you are an experienced player that wants to develop some serious chops, I've got the perfect lesson plan for you! Each student has a customized curriculum that maximizes their creative potential and develops their true voice on the instrument. Located in Torrance, but willing to commute to the student's home if that is preferable. My curriculum dives into the study of different styles of music (Latin, funk, jazz, rock) as well as foundational techniques. More advanced studies include odd-time signatures, chart reading, and polyrhythmic concepts. I am also an acting coach, and I am currently looking for focused and hardworking actors that want to take their talent to the next level. As an actor myself, I have spent too much money on widely advertised LA classes and workshops. In my opinion, those are a complete waste of time, money, and energy. Why pay $500 for a six week course just to learn one monologue and play useless theater games? This approach is futile in its efforts to truly nurture an actor's innate strengths. My approach is in-depth and will give you the necessary techniques that will help you understand and utilize your reserve of raw emotion. Areas of study will include: Character development, Script analysis, Meisner vs. Method approach, and subtext/motive. If you want to realize your amazing potential as an actor this is a super affordable way to reach that next level. Whether you are a beginner, or an experienced actor that wants to keep your chops sharp, my customized lesson plan will bring the best out in you. It's can be incredibly frustrating pursuing this profession, but why not get involved with something that has immediate rewards and provides you with the inspiration and the positive outlet that is vital to keep you determined and focused on your goals.
