Drums

“Granville Mullings, Jr. is a GRAMMY nominated songwriter & drummer (Divinity Roxx, “READY, SET, GO!,” Best Children’s Album, 2023 GRAMMY Awards), touring musician; composer, band teacher, producer and private instructor with a degree in Jazz Composition and Professional Music from Berklee College of Music.”

I am currently performing and writing with Divinity Roxx (Beyonce, Victor Wooten, etc.), Elle Winston, Kate Vargas and others. Most of my writing and creating is done here in my private studio. I am proud to have produced tracks featured by the likes of Elton John on his Beats 1 Radio (Apple Music) station. That is to say, I'm really proud of the artists i collaborate with and I’m grateful to have such an inspired space. 

I find playing music can be a great source of inspiration and release. But most importantly, everyone has a voice to be heard through music.

I have taught privately since I was in high school. Over the years, I have also been affiliated with some amazing entities. Additionally, my work in arts administrative (Brooklyn Academy of Music -BAM, UVA Music) and my affiliation with Zoo Labs translates into my ability to show you skills that will garnish success in the music business. 

My students can expect growth in rhythmic aptitude & understanding song forms. Your timing will improve! Your feel for styles (blues, rock, jazz, hip hop, EDM, etc.) will improve! Your technique will be through the roof!! I empower my students to do whatever they can dream to do with music, whether it is for personal enrichment or personal ambition.

I will demystify anything you feel is outside of your reach and grow you into the musician you want to be. 

If you’re local to NY, my private studio is a fully equipped playground for the musically-minded with all the tools and materials you need to grow as a musician, so all you need to bring is your imagination. I look forward to the journey.

Granville's curriculum centers on the building blocks; great technique to empower flexibility in his students. He uses methods perfected by Alan Dawson (The Rudimental Ritual), Gary Chaffee (Odd Time Stickings), Sanford A. Moeller (The Moeller Technique), and other great teachers while employing methods he has found successful through his years of teaching.When necessary, music theory elements are employed to teach song form, dynamics and overall musicianship.

Great first lesson. Good with my 5year old. Looking forward to more.

It was my first lesson and I could play something by the end of it.

He was patient, kind, encouraging, and knowledgeable. My son really enjoyed his class and looks forward to more lessons.

Granville has been great to work with. He's a fellow dad and understands how to engage with kids. A+++

Very knowledgeable and positive.  I'm learning a lot.

Granville was patient! And engaging! He not only listened but heard what I had to say. I appreciate his kindness and inspiration and I look forward to more lessons!

Granville had our daughter engaged right away.

Couldn’t ask for more. Smiling face. Easy going. Easy to talk to. Was so flexible in his ways, he can adjust his teaching around what interests you. Excited to continue with him.

My child just finished a 3rd lesson with Granville and it is going great to far!

Thanks for your patience and making Josh feel comfortable! He’s looking forward to the next class! :)

Granville did a super job with my newbie 16-year-old son and he can't wait for next week.  Highly recommended!

Granville is doing an awesome job with my son. Happy we found him.

This is an introduction to the cajón as a percussive, musical instrument. It covers some origins as well as options for approaching the instrument. The bass and snare sounds are focused on and combinations/rudiments are briefly discussed. An approach to a basic rock groove is also covered.
