Instruments: Drums
I've been playing drums for 36 years and teaching for 14 and I love it! Studying with Mike Mangini was one of my biggest inspirations to date. I've been playing in clubs in and around the Boston area since I was 21 and I'm still doing it today. I have a basic, step by step book I've written called DRUM STUFF to get my students interested and playing songs / music as soon as possible. Read More
Instruments: Flute Drums
I truly enjoy seeing a student progress and find a passion for playing music. Depending on a student's learning style and speed, my methods of teaching will change. Some students will want to be challenged, and I can take things very rapidly or focus on weaknesses and slow things down based on a student's skill level. There are so many ways to teach teach a student, and I am not subject to only one of those teaching styles. Read More
Instruments: Drums Conga Djembe
Although i have taught many students the way i learned which was only on one drum for the first few months to focus on rudiments (the fundamentals of drumming) as well as the skills of reading music and the various parts that make up good technique. A couple of my tried and true favorite books to teach from are: Beginner: Haskell Harr Drum Method and Alfred's Drum Method Intermediate: New Breed by Gary Chester, Stick Control, and the classic Progressive Steps to Syncopation by Ted Reed Advanced: Advanced Funk Studies by Rick Latham, Patterns by Gary Chaffee and Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer by Jim Chapin Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Latin Percussion Keyboard Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
Reading music is essential. To me musicians who don't know how to read music are like people who speak without undertsanding the meaning of the words they say. I also focus on ear training and understanding the instrument naturally, being that I feel its best for the player to have a mulititude of approaches to their understanding of their craft. Books I use in my methods are Carmine Appice Realistic Rock, Rockin Bass volumes 1 and 2, Mel Bay's Killer Fills, and Buddy Rich Snare Drum Rudiments. Read More

Performing all over the world has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician, and I've had the opportunity to play with many great musicians of all genres and pIaces. Read More
Instruments: Drums
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play some guitar and I can move around a piano. The reason is that, when you get passionate about music, you want to try and make more music, understand it better.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience, discipline and the mechanical aspect of the drumset. Once the mechanical aspect (how and what to do) is solve, then you have taken a big step on your instruement.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelor's Degree on Arts, Perfomance Drum Set and a Minor in Latin Studies and Performance. I always love to play music and I wanted to get better at it. Play different styles and learn from amazing professors.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It started with the visual aspect. Seeing a drummer play seen a lot of fun. When I sat down and play the drum set for the first time, I was struck by the sound and vibration. It pulled me right away.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I got to study at Berklee College of Music and play with musicians from all over the world. Met amazing people and learn from teachers and other students. I was the president of a student group called Rhythm Club were we hosted clinics and had the chance to met percussionist from all over the world. I started my own project as band leader with profesional musicians. I also had the oportunity to tour and perform on 12 different states.
I have given clinics and in and outside the United States.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
It was not a teacher per se. I always loved music and the visual of drums and the drummer playing caught my attention. I had teachers who inspired me to play more and better and still, I get inspired when I hear someone play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no specific answer but rather different opinions. In my opinion, when the child has a sense of discipline then that is a good sign. Having a lesson requieres the student to pay attention to what the teacher is saying. Patience from the teacher is a must but the willingness of the student must be there as well.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on how well the student have manage to understand the information given plus the time invested on practicing. Setting short and long term goals helps the student see the results of his dedication.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice random things, avoid distractions, take brakes from your practice session, and set short and long term goals. Everytime you sit down and focus when you practice, you are becoming mor efficient in this process. Consistency is the key.
