I currently offer drum lessons at all levels. Students are able to study any type of drumming that they have an interest in. These are some the types of instruments, skill sets, and styles available for study: Concert Percussion (Snare, Timpani, Auxiliary Percussion), Marching Percussion (Battery), Drum Set (Jazz, Rock, Latin, World, Fusion, Soloing), and Hand Percussion (Djembe, Congas, Doumbek, Frame Drum, Riq, Panderio)

Students can expect to learn how to sight read rudiments and beats,and learn songs of their choosing at their own pace in a relaxed atmosphere. Within the first couple of weeks I will find the best approach to teach each individual student based on their personality and or Learning disability.

I am very student focused and driven. I want to help my student realize their full potential with playing drums.
I can introduce my student to a basic understanding of music theory and hard rock/metal drumming is my main focus - however I am versed in other music genres as well, to give my student the most options to work with.
Relaxed, fun, and detail oriented are all words I would use to describe myself.
So, if you are looking for a drum teacher that can cover: rudiments, stick control, basic tempo/time understanding, metronome familiarity, tuning of a kit, drum maintenance, and much more, look no further!

First approach would be checking and working on technique," back to basics".
Technique presents an important element in process of learning and adjusting body itself to the instrument, in natural way.
The main thing through my work ethic with students is to make student capable to become adjustable drummer/musician and percussionist in various styles of music.
In my opinion, instructor's role is to help the student find his/her own way of getting through music and creativity. Also to show the beauty of playing this instrument.
I have been performing various styles on drumset,(some of them: Jazz, Funk, Rock, Latin, MiddleEastern) with different combos and ensembles and at the same time I have been performing as professional percussionist in orchestra setting and in Big Band setting.
