Want to be able to play your favorite cover songs with your friends? Or become the next drumming sensation? Let's make it happen! I have 17 years of experience teaching students of all ages, levels, ambitions and genres.

Ready to start playing the drums? I teach drum lessons to beginners, intermediate and advanced players.

I have been playing drums since I was 5 years old! I have my undergraduate degree in Percussion and Music Composition and a Graduate degree in Music Composition. I work as a session drummer on recording sessions, and I can teach nearly any style of music--rock, jazz, folk, latin, and more!

I'm an experienced drum teacher, my main focus is to find out what your goals are and help you achieve them! The lessons will be tailored to your specific needs in a fun, and always musical way. You'll learn rudiments, technique, and reading while playing along to your favorite songs.

My goal as a teacher is to help you discover your own unique voice by exploring a variety of different styles and approaches. To become a great drummer, you'll need to practice, but you can learn many secrets that will make this process easier and more fun. During our lessons we will discuss concepts of drumming such as it's role, its history, and specific vocabulary essential for communicating. We will also focus on technique and exercises as well as your own personal tastes and interests.

My teaching style is very flexible & hands on. My goal is to make beautiful music and I do this by taking technical exercises and giving them musical meaning. This means I focus on the ideas of time, vocabulary & dynamic playings, but within this still teaching essential technical exercises in order to create a well-rounded musician.

My goal is to help my students to become not only better drummers but also better musicians therefore I focus greatly on musicianship, how to be a good team player in a band situation, improve a professional state of mind and listening skills. I teach hand technique/ foot technique, rudiments, sight reading, systems to improve independence and creativity.
The main genres I teach is rock, funk, latin (brazilian & afro cuban), metal and jazz. I also have knowledge in styles like second line, ECM and reggae.

The drums are the backbone of most music, so you have to be able to feel the groove and stay tight and on top of the beat. I encourage students to pick their favorite songs, and we drum to those while learning proper technique, rudiments, song form, fills, rhythm, different grooves / beats, and anything they want to know about the drums. I have been playing the drums for over sixteen years and have a Bachelor's Degree in Music from the Berklee College of Music. Drums is a beautiful art and form of expression and is just the tip of the iceberg we can tackle called Music.

using my experience in 15 years on drums, including lessons and recording sessions for the improvement of the student, all levels and ages.
