Instruments: Guitar Drums Bass Guitar Electric Guitar Acoustic Guitar
I have been teaching for a few months now, and I really enjoy it! Forming and shaping the next generation of musicians is a crucial part to keep the American culture intact and alive. Music takes practice and discipline, and everything else will come to you as a domino effect. By sticking to your practice routine and making it fun, your own fingers will start playing wonderfully without you even much effort. Read More
Instruments: Drums
Above all, what's the most important for Will is passing on the love/passion for music the arts that he has had his entire life. Potentially lost in the void of auto-tune, drum machines, and artificial instruments, the drum set is an art form that has direct roots in American history as well as western music overall; in addition to the 7 years of teaching experience and over 15 years real-world, practical gigging experience, it's this notion that makes it crucial to Will that this all gets passed on to keep music in our lives, both young and old!

My teaching experience has been quite rewarding and varied over the years. Every student has a unique and special passion that has drawn them into music and I make sure to acknowledge that in order to maintain that spirit even when a task is in front of them. My main focus is the technical aspect of the instrument, helping the student discover how it works for them, so they can shape the music the best way possible. Read More
Instruments: Drums
I'm a professional player, teacher, and student since 2012. Through my career, I won the 1st place of the National Festival in Italy, I received the 1st place of the Local Band Competition in my hometown, and I was one of the top 10 finalists of the National Drum Competition, again in Italy. I moved to New York to study music and follow my passion for this art that allows me to express myself in the most complete and direct way. Read More

My teaching philosophy is rooted in fostering both technical proficiency and creative expression. To achieve this, I employ a combination of established techniques and personalized approaches: Using the George L. Stone stick control book as a foundational tool, I promote limb independence and improve technical skills. This classic method helps students develop precise control and coordination, essential for any percussionist. Understanding that each student is unique, I create customized exercises that cater to their individual strengths and areas for improvement. Read More

I grew up in a musical family and began classical music training at the age of 6. I studied clarinet and classical percussion and later on focussed on drums, improvised music, theory and composition. I graduated from the Conservatory in Amsterdam with a Master in Performance and Composition. I performed all over the world (America, Asia, Africa, Europe) I love sharing my knowledge with students of all levels and ages. Art is one of the most important things in life and communicating through art is one of the most beautiful thins one can do. Read More
Instruments: Piano Drums Bass Guitar Double Bass Oboe English Horn Music
My teaching style is aimed at helping my students express themselves through music, and enjoy playing their instruments. The starting point for this is learning the basics (scales, long tones, arpeggios, etc), but I also encourage my students to improvise and allow themselves to freely play their instrument in a joyful way. I also help them learn pieces and styles that they love. Through working on all of these aspects of being a musician, and encouraging them to take performance opportunities, I help my students to really find their own voice on their instrument. Read More

When will I start to see results?
Do anything long enough and you will see results but it's focus and consistency in your practice with a combination of patience that will produce results. You can see results every week with daily practice, this does not need to be an hour every day, 10 to 20 minutes and you will start to make progress!
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Learning to slow down and focus on everything you are doing. I always wanted to play faster and better but it wasn't until I slowed myself down and learned to focus on the little details that I started to hear myself better and sound better.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I actually wanted to play Saxophone but my parents could not find me a suitable teacher at the time so I picked the drums and I'm so glad I did! Rhythm came very naturally to me and I loved the look of a drum set with a band. I still love the saxophone but I can't play a single note on it but that's okay, there are so many great ones to listen too.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If they are asking for lessons themselves! I recommend to parents that they not push or force their child to play a particular instrument, usually the one they are interested in the most is the one they should start with. Now this does have some caveats as certain instruments like voice, woodwinds, or brass are better started after the age of 7 or 8 but there are ways to encourage them at home. Also, if a student is starting on piano but understands they can move onto their desired instrument as they get older, it will make it feel less like they are being kept from that instrument.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Consistency is key! I always recommend to my students to set a timer and allow themselves a set amount of time to devote to practicing without interruption. This could be 5, 10, 15 or minutes or more depending on how much time you want to give to practicing. After the timer goes off, allow yourself to make the choice whether to continue or pick it up the next day. This way you have given yourself the time to improve but it doesn't feel like you have lost a whole chunk of your day. With daily practice it will become a habit and start to feel fun as you see yourself making progress!
