Instruments: Drums
My teaching style is very simple. We will begin by finding the interests of the student. Then we’ll identify what they like about the instrument and their basic knowledge. Once that is done, we’ll begin experimenting with different generes. And finally, we’ll create a plan that will allow them the chance to grow musically and fundamentally on the drums. This in total, will give myself and the student(s) the chance to see how their minds work as far as being able to give different tastes and feels of rhythm, on their instrument. Read More
Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion
My goal is to help my student evolve into a creative, critically thinking, and fundamentally strong musician.I want my student to find his/her own creative voice through music. Even if the student does not pursue a career in music, through this process he/she will have developed invaluable skills and confidence. Seeing students acquire that self-confidence and creative voice is what makes teaching worthwhile. Read More
Instruments: Drums
My method of teaching focuses on Technique and Musicality. No matter the level of student, these areas can be practiced and results will be heard thru the focus on these. Reading music is taught, but naturally along with the focus on the two areas mentioned before. For example, Eddie wants to learn ACDC's "Back in Black". Eddie will learn the drum part to this song by observing the written notation and by listening and call/response training. Read More
Instruments: Drums
My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons 8 years ago. I only had a couple of students at that time due to my workload in school and other curricular activities, but I felt comfortable in my ability to teach the drums intuitively, thanks to my drum teacher. Also, as I am constantly learning from my teachers, peers and from listening to all kinds of music teaching almost comes as second nature to me. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I began teaching over the summer of 2010. While attending Berklee, I had countless one-on-one and small group sessions with fellow drummers where we would bounce ideas off one another and give each other "mini lessons," breaking down specific grooves and licks. In October, 2014, I led an hour-long master class for other Berklee percussion students about advanced polyrhythmic concepts and applications. In addition to teaching out of my rehearsal space in Allston, MA, I also make lesson videos that I share online. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Saxophone Clarinet Drums
I am well versed in the pop/rock genres and have taught myself through learning popular songs but even more singificantly through composition; I have written over one hundred songs as a singer-songwriter and have much to impart in this field. The skills developed in these areas (improvisation, composition, music theory) are the ones most likely to ensure an autonomically deep and everlasting connection to confident music performance and development.

Instruments: Drums Synthesizer Music
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
The drum set or drums, are believed to be one of the easiest instrument to learn however the most difficult to master. Keeping a B, hands and arms in sink, independent coordination between the four major limbs and then your brain is very challenging. Not to mention musicality. When you finally get pretty good at your instrument, playing with other musicians becomes a whole different challenge.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
Honestly, my musical accomplishments are the ones that I had with the people I played music with. Playing on a hit album or song is obviously amazing. But, at the end of the day there’s nothing like going on stage with friends and putting on a memorable performance for an audience. There is nothing quite like that.
Have any of your students won awards or been selected for special honors? How have they succeeded?
I’ve had a number of students come on to Berkeley College of music in Boston Massachusetts. ( One of the most respected music schools in the world ) . I’ve also had other students go onto music schools in California. I recently had a student go onto music college in Nashville. Others have succeeded in music engineering roles as well.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I’ve been asked this question hundreds of times over the years. 99% of my students I replace the word practice with the word play. It’s imperative that students, especially early on, are enjoying playing on their own time. If students view it as homework they may get bored very quickly. Personally, as a kid I would run to the drum set. It was never work at all. I feel that that is the key to success for students of any age.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Everyone’s attention span is different. I can tell you with confidence, after 20 to 30 minutes of sitting with your child, I will know if they are ready.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I never had to think about it. I played drums for the first time in my uncles basement at five years old. It was a no brainer. I loved playing. It was a part of me. It just felt right. Something I needed to do.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
My first teacher was my kindergarten music teacher. She pulled me aside one day and told me I had a terrific singing voice and asked me to sing a solo in front of everyone. Trust me I was scared to death. Fortunately I was so good, I ended up getting a room full of applause. Even at that young age I knew she believed I was talented. It filled me with confidence that I never forgot even years later.
When will I start to see results?
You will see results after the first lesson. I get students playing as fast as possible.
