About Mariano L.
5.0
(5)
My experience as a performer and teacher ranges from early music to today's rock and pop, including various percussion instruments from around the world. When studying for my bachelors and masters degrees in music, I did course work in music recording, jazz studies, and music history. In addition, I incorporate my knowledge of development, physics, and other sciences into my instruction. I can discuss playing music with beginners to professionals as we pursue opportunities in the music industry and education to develop functional musicians with creative outlets as students are able to explore any area or level of music. Some of my students have gone onto college music programs and high school programs such as OCHSA while others are enjoying playing music with friends. The goal is to take a student's excitement for music and percussion in a direction that will feedback into more learning and a drive to explore more styles of music.

The bodhran is amazing in its versatility and approaches to playing it. I went to Mariano because he teaches in the certaiin style I wanted to learn. He has good knowledge of music and the instrument. I would recommend him.

Experience
Drum/Percussion Instructor
Feb, 1996 - PresentPrivate Music Studio
On drum set, I teach 3 basic areas of all drumming: rudiments, grooves (such as rock beats and Latin styles), and rhythm reading. I have started with students who have had no musical background and taught them to play a rock beat in their first lesson and the skills to read music with confidence thereafter. In percussion, my experience is wide and deep. I have studied and performed every era of music as well as done world music studies on Latin, African, and Asian music. It will be your choice on which path you wish to go down.
