Middle Village, NY Drum Lessons

I have been playing drum kit and percussion for over fifteen years and teaching for about 12. I've played a little bit of everything - pop, rock, punk, hip-hop, ska/reggae, blues, jazz, and even musical theater. I'm happy to share my skills and expertise with drummers of all ages and skill levels (lessons at my studio will be on electronic kit).

All styles/levels. Lessons are designed to meet YOUR needs.

This course is all centered around the art and practice of playing the ever so fun and ubiquitous, drum set.
In it, you will learn and practice coordination exercises taught from some of the best in the world along with explore the ever-so-rewarding skill and gift of how to listen to and practice your groove. There will be discussions geared towards helping to hape the way you play and listen to the ensemble. Accompanying lessons, you will receive progressively more advanced play-alongs. These are songs catered to bring out your current playing skills and show you the path to the next level. They are meant to be forever relevant to your drumming and are not meant to be easy but are guaranteed to be fun.
Students will also learn how to incorporate electronics into ones drum kit, as more and more contemporary acts are doing. They also will learn how to experiment with drum set-ups and playing styles.

Along with learning to play like the champ you are, you will also be taught ...

My basic approach is to foster the student in a relaxed but focused environment. Everyone has their own goals in mind when picking up the sticks. Whether you want to learn how to play your favorite song, brush up on your snare etudes or analyze an Elvin Jones solo, I am more than happy to offer guidance on your musical journey.

Learn to be the drummer you want to be!

-"How can I play this on the drums?"

-"What is this drummer playing here?"

-"Help , my kid makes noise , not music"

DON'T WORRY, you found the right person

As an NYC native, I have been teaching drum lessons for almost 7 years. Born in lower Manhattan, I attended Manhattan East Middle School for Music & Arts, as well as Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School for Music & Art and the Performing Arts. In 2012, I received a scholarship to attend New England Conservatory of Music where I had the opportunity to study privately with master musicians such as John McNeil, Bob Moses, Miguel Zenon, Jerry Bergonzi and a lengthy apprenticeship with drum legend Billy Hart. In 2014 I received a full scholarship to attend the Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music in Canada. I was fortunate enough to be able to work closely there with first- rate artists such as Vijay Iyer, Steve Coleman, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Reggie Workman and more. I have been a private drum lesson instructor since high school, and have taught dozens of students of all ages, skill levels, and in all styles of music. In addition to private lessons, I have taught workshops and
