Drums with Julian A.

I love working with people to pursue creative and personal growth and fulfillment. I bring an open mind and heart, and a passionate and supportive attitude, always prioritizing and remaining flexible toward the needs of any client. Wether as a teacher or collaborator, I believe I bring a degree of personal care and sensitivity, mixed with professionalism and training that makes my musical services truly unique and meaningful. As a teacher, I have over ten years of experience instructing in drums & percussion, piano, voice, music theory, creative process, and general musical fluency in many genres and settings. I love sharing my knowledge as a professional drummer, songwriter , keyboardist, lyricist, producer, and vocalist, but also love to share my experience in music business, crowdsourcing, band leading, and creative process and improvisation . Technique and fundamentals are so important, but the creative process and spirit of exploration is equally so. My goal is that lessons and collaborations are equally fun and productive for any client, and I am always happy to adapt and throw my energy into a client's unique goals, perspective, curiosities, and process. I value the relationship between student and teacher as much as anyone, and view it as a collaboration. As a performer, I have worked in several countries and across the continent, and produced and contributed to hundreds of musical projects, as a drummer, writer, arranger, vocalist, musical director, and more.
