About Michael L.
5.0
(3)
I am a third generation musician on both sides of my family, and am continuing the tradition in my father's footsteps as a drum and percussion instructor. I am a member of the American Federation of Musicians, local 65-699 in Houston, TX. I graduated from Queens College-City University New York in 2010, with a major in Creative Writing and a minor in music from the Aaron Copeland School of Music. I have taught, played and recited poetry in France, Bolivia, New York City, and my two hometowns of San Antonio & Houston, TX. These experiences have made me not only a better writer and musician, but a better person.

Michael is a fantastic drum Instructor. He's been working with, my 11 year old son Seth, for months and they've made terrific progress. My son has mild Aspergers, and Michael goes above and beyond to ensure Seth's success. Seth looks forward to his lesson every single week!

Michael has done a great job teaching my thirteen year old son how to play the drums. He keeps my son motivated and connects with him on a level that inspires my son to want to learn more. It is rewarding to see my son excited about going to his lessons. I am thankful that Michael is teaching and sharing his passion for music with my son.

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with my 11 year old son. My son came into the lessons knowing nothing of playing drums and Michael has been very patient with him. Michael keeps the lessons interesting and fun and is always very professional.

Experience
Drum Teacher/Musician
May, 1993 - PresentSelf
My teaching experience begins in 1993, after I graduated from the High School for Performing and Visual Arts. From there, I continued and then expounded upon my father's teaching methods, with an emphasis on technique, sight reading, and the actual "soul" of the musician within. I used this approach in all places I have traveled to, and have had students return to me as successful musicians.
