From there, we can build upon these foundations and explore more advanced concepts and techniques. I believe it is important to not only teach the technical aspect of drumming, but also the musicality and artistry that go into creating drum beats and rhythms. I encourage my students to listen to a wide range of music and try to incorporate different styles and influences into their playing. One of the things I love most about teaching drums is seeing my students progress and discover their own unique voice as drummers. Read More

I have had a lot of teachers in my life and I learned a lot from every one of them not only about playing, but also about delivering information. Since the early days I was developing as a teacher as I was developing as a drummer. Already when I was studying at the Amsterdam Conservatory other fellow students asked me for advices on how to play and practice more efficiently. Read More

I am a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, and improviser who is equally passionate about teaching music as I am about playing it. I graduated with a Bachelors of Music degree in Music Composition and Music Technology from the Conservatory of Music at Brooklyn College.I perform often as both a solo vocalist and technologist and with my experimental RnB group The Pluto Moons. As a soloist, my performances and recordings of my own compositions have been featured at a variety of festivals throughout the world, including the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, the PNEM Festival in Uden Netherlands, and the Hrlursfestival in Solleftea, Sweden.

Instruments: Drums
I educate young and seasoned drummers whether the desire is to play drums as a hobby or play for a living. After attending Berklee College of Music, I attended The Collective School of Music learning from some of the best teachers and Educators in the world. These educators changes my life to say the least. It was then that I made the commitment to not only playing the drums as my means of lively hood, but to also teach and educate beginner, intermediate and advanced professional drummers. Read More

Nothing is more rewarding than seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! Therefore, it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants/needs and strive to make the experience as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible for them.

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!
