My name is Dylan. Music is a huge part of my life. I started playing drums in 7th grade and haven't put my sticks down yet. After playing in many Sacramento based bands, I wanted more from my instrument. I enrolled into the Musicians Institute (MI) in Hollywood, Ca. I graduated with an Associates of Arts degree in drums. Teaching and performing drums is what I take very seriously. I choose to teach because of the pure joy and excitement I get from seeing people learning the drums. I prefer to teach beginner to (advanced) intermediate students. I can teach advanced concepts but what interest me is your sound, confidence and control on the drums. I'm laid back and easy going. Assignments are structured around your skill and interests.

I am a brass, voice and percussion artist and teacher, local to the Sacramento area, specializing in many styles such as Classical, Jazz, and Pop.

I'm currently the lead trombone for the Harley White Jr. Jazz Orchestra and lead trombone for the Element Brass Band. In addition, I was privileged to win multiple downbeat awards with the Sacramento State Jazz Singers where I sung bass and was often a featured soloist.

In March 2010 I became the first tuba player win CSU...

My name is Sean W. and I've been a multi instrumentalist for 23 years! I've performed opera as a soprano, Rock, funk, punk, metal, and Jazz on guitar, bass, and drum-kit. I find being able to accompany my students on other instruments to be an indispensable tool.

I my elementary years I attended a music school. There I performed "classical styles" as a solo soprano and classical pianist. My experience included performing opera with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and smaller "gigs", like weddings and seasonal concerts. I still to this day value my classical training.

In 2005-2009 I attended Berklee College of Music as a Bass Principal, majoring in Contemporary Writing and production. My experience here was amazing! There I was able to use every skill I had ever earned as a musician and expand them all exponentially. Writing and recording music made me a more well balanced teacher. I am now able to help my students explore their creative side as while improving their...
