Top Drum Lessons for Kids in Eatontown, NJ

I've been performing for 10 years with drums. It's my passion instrument. It's what I wanted to play when i was a kid.

Depending of the student's level, I am able to give the appropriate tips and information and customize the lessons for each particular case.
My lessons are very dynamic and are oriented to keep the students very motivated.

All levels. Song styling, performance. Learning to write for the set.

After more than 15 years of experience playing drums, 10+ different teachers, countless hours of researching and experimenting, I will be able to point you in the direction you need to progress as efficiently as possible towards your goals. Includes thorough work on technique, time, versatility on styles, transcribing songs.... I like to bring attention on sound, posture, critical listening and musicality; the best of what I gathered from my years at Berklee and as a musician.

With over 10 years of teaching experience in more than 5 countries, my goal is to inspire students through a wide variety of methods that transform them into “talented” musicians.

I love music. Since you're taking the time to read this, chances are you (or your kid) do too. My goal as a teacher is to bring out the best in each individual student. Every musician has a unique voice. Some teachers devise lessons for students with a "one-size-fits-all" mentality. I know from my experience that this does not work for all students because everyone learns differently and wants to learn different things. As your teacher, I will make my lesson plan fit exactly what you want and need as a student. My lessons focus on technique and musicality, and I will teach you exactly what you need to become the best musician you can be.

I am a patient, thoughtful drum set teacher who has worked with students of all ages. I work on tailoring each lessons to a particular students needs and goals. I also work to develop a good fundamental base of applicable theory and drumming technique with each student. I am open to teaching many different styles of drumming such as:
Rock
Funk
Jazz
Blues
Additionally I can teach specific African, Cuban, and Brazilian rhythmic concepts as well as free improvisation.

I have studied with jazz legend Eddie Marshall as well as classical percussion with William Winant. I also have a good general knowledge of music theory which is very helpful when trying to figure out songs or compositions. I have studied composition and improvisation with many incredible musicians such as Roscoe Mitchell, Ben Goldberg, and Hafez Modirzadeh. I additionally have a BA in jazz performance from S.F. State and a MFA from Mills College in music performance.
