He is very concerned about making sure your creative vision comes to life in the best way possible. He has incredibly insightful advice but never tries to insert his ego into your project. He genuinely cares about his clients and wants to see them succeed.

Garrett really knew what part of my drumming that we needed to work on and gave me some great exercises to take home and practice. Awesome!

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Oliver since we were in high school, when I played with him in jazz ensembles and small groups. Since then, he’s become an integral part of our band Molly with Charles, and many other side projects. He’s a really sweet, positive individual who is also a really talented and dedicated drummer and multi-instrumentalist. I really can’t recommend highly enough as a teacher.

Within ONE lesson, Howard could pinpoint EXACTLY what my trouble areas are, and not only is he able to articulate a very clear plan for dealing with those, but he has also helped me with the burdening amount of pain that plagues my joints and muscles when I play something technically demanding! Furthermore, he is very focused, understanding, knowledgeable and gentle! After having many verbally.... difficult teachers whose teaching involved quite a bit of negative reinforcement, it is an absolute pleasure and an eye opening experience to have a patient, understanding teacher. Some people may learn quite well in that fashion, and there was a period of time when I actually believed, or rather was brainwashed into thinking that being verbally berated would serve as motivation. But now I see quite clearly that is not the case: I learn a lot better and I am more motivated to practice when I find it a pleasure to go to my piano lessons! Thank you, Howard for all your dedication, patience and knowledge!

I wish I could give him 10 stars! Thanasi is an incredible drummer and an incredible instructor. He took a complete noob like myself and just in a few lessons he transformed me. He has the perfect combination of giving me the right amount of exercises and then teaching me to play the songs that I like to play. The feeling is truly amazing. When you manage to play one of your favorite songs on the drums, when you get to feel that you are a part of the band. I know for a fact that I am not going anywhere. I will continue to receive lessons from Thanasi and I will keep recommending him to all of my friends and people I meet. This review is the least I can do for him. If you want to learn drums the proper way, but at the same time have the time of your life, message Thanasi and I promise you he will open new horizons for you. The amounts of euphoria are incredible!!!
