Beatboxing Lessons in Pennington. Amazing Teachers.

Dave has taught for 17+ years and his major in college was Percussion Performance. His extensive experience in the sounds of percussion, give him an edge in teaching different ways to emulate sounds.

I can help you make the sounds that you need to fill out any performance or arrangement, all with the instrument we're all born with. I blend my knowledge of singing (most importantly breath support) and drums and to stitch together a personalized curriculum full of tinkering and guess & check.

Beat Box: (Cajón)
A box-shaped percussion instrument originally from Peru, played by slapping the front or rear faces with the hands, fingers, or sometimes various implements such as brushes, mallets, or sticks.
Cajones are primarily played in Afro-Peruvian music, as well as contemporary styles of flamenco and jazz among other genres. The term cajón is also applied to other unrelated box drums used in Latin American music such as the cajón de rumba used in Cuban rumba and the cajón de tapeo used in Mexican folk music.
Learning will be fun as the Cajon is pretty easy to learn. Hand techniques and rhythms will be the primary focus as well as playing along with songs and even learning to solo!
