Drum Lessons in West Menlo Park, CA

I can then observe, and correct slight flaws in technique and touch. I can also instruct several styles of music from the many genres that I have experienced over the years.

Teaching has been a constant for me since college (around 2005). I helped tutor both aural theory and written theory, and also helped with beginner piano classes.

I've taught students of all ages and skill levels for many years and also can provide some experience at arranging, theory, and improvisation. Read More
