Coral Gables, FL Bongo Lessons

Focus on basic technique, rhythm, and creativity.

Hands on technique on basic tones for a variety of drums, most importantly yours.
Learn tuning, tone and intervals.
Stylistic and traditional rhythms as well as exercises to lay a solid foundation to build your skill on. Personal and fun to play at any level and in different styles.

Bongos are a great way for young students, even young children 4 or 5 years old, to develop coordination and strong sense of rhythm. I've played drums and percussion for over 15 years, in many different bands, styles, and genres. I studied music (classical guitar) at University of Central Florida and I've picked up many other instruments since. I love teaching instruments to students young and old.

I can teach drum set but also any percussion instrument you can think of-marimba, marching percussion, concert snare drum, any mallet instrument, hand drums, and more. I have a bachelor's in music education, have a lot of experience, and perform regularly to practice what I preach. I truly love to teach and work with students of any age, am great at cultivating a different teaching style to fit each individual student, and let students have a say in what they play.

Ive been drumming for 16 years! I've taught lesson drums before all my students have gone to play in live bands. I try to make my lessons easy and fun, i want you to leave your first lesson playing music! I've played in live settings with other musicians, in many different types of music. I love playing Rock music, hip-hop, funk, salsa, pop, metal, country, anything that gets the blood flowing! I like paying hard and loud....but i can do soft if i must. You won't regret getting lessons from me

I love to teach, the music is my way of communication to the world, there is a quote that I like; do what you love and you will do everything in the best way.

I always give to the student all that help myself to be a better musician, I never teach with a method that doesn't work for me before.

Drum lessons are unique with me because of my background with all percussion makes lessons flexible and fun. I tailor my lessons to the students wants and desires while also building their technical skill in all areas of percussion so they can play everything while excelling at what they enjoy the most. This makes a very fun and educational experience.

Hey guys!

I offer such unique techniques & ways to advocate the best, most enjoyable way to learn.

Why should I take lessons?
Taking lessons with me ensures you will definitely have fun, be encouraged, motivated, maximize learning, and also become the most killing drummer. My skills & knowledge of percussion/drumset extends to all ages and talents. I’ve had experience with elite marching bands, drumlines, orchestras, concert ensembles, fusion bands, gospel, funk, rock, R&B, Jazz, country, metal, touring groups, & years of playing & teaching with other great musicians worldwide... If you are serious, and willing to become a great musician, sign up and lets make some music!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing the sheer joy on my students' faces after they, by the end of their first lesson, are playing a full on Rock Beat! Getting my students ready to start a band or preparing them for a major audition, college, conservatory or even a lucrative job, is very rewarding.
