Guitar with Enrique P.

I truly enjoy teaching and have many years of experience teaching students of all levels and ages. My studio is base in Escondido but i can teach in San Marcos, San Elijo, Vista, Carlsbad, Encinitas, and Oceanside. I teach my students how important it is to listen and also how to play with other musicians. I play other Instruments so I’ll bring them to the class for them to learn how to work with other musicians usually I bring a guitar or bass (depending on the student's need) and help the student learn how drums relate to the rest of the music. I want all of my students to enjoy playing and to have music as a tool for life: one that helps them express themselves, think creatively, learn specific and technical skills, and grow musically. I believe all people can benefit from learning to play an instrument. If you or your child believe that music can provide a new way to find meaning and joy in life while learning a valuable skill, please contact me. In addition, I have successfully taught many students who have had trouble in school due to lack of motivation and/or learning disabilities. Drum/percussion lessons have reawakened these discouraged students' desire to learn and I am happy to adjust my teaching style for any disabilities or difficulties a student may have. I am happy to provide references from parents whose children were struggling in other areas of life and who looked forward to a music lesson when all else seemed to be a chore.

Winner , San Diego Music Awards with the band Skelpin. Percussionist of Manolito Gypsy (Gypsy Kings). *** Lesson Details *** Classes are 30, 45 or 60 minutes, depending on age and ability. I give lessons at your home or in my home studio. I will start by talking to the student and/or parent about what the student would like to accomplish from the lessons and what, if any, musical background the student already has. It's OK if you don't have any experience at all. The first class is when I focus on understanding how the student learns. Everyone learns differently and is motivated differently, so I make it a point to get to know what makes the student tick. During the first lesson, we will do some basic exercises so I can pinpoint where they are, and I'll assign skills to practice for the next class. If the class is taught at my home studio, I record it for the student to refer to during the week. I assign exercises for every class, so please plan to practice at least 15 minutes per day while you are taking lessons. Finally, I offer a recording opportunity for students who are writing songs and would like to learn recording skills. This is an option for advanced students, students who are looking to record a demo, or for young students who would like to preserve their new accomplishments on an audio file that can be given as a gift. *** Studio Equipment *** Roland TD-6 and Yamaha stage custom and acoustic drums.
