About

Rene's fun and friendly approach to instruction is a positive way for all students to learn the basic fundamentals of grip, and fulcrum techniques for the applied rudiments of drumming, while working on developing a sense of feel and time within themselves.

In addition, students will be asked what types of music they like. This approach allows Rene to engage the student's abilities while working on their own "unique" songs, and by also remaining focused on learning the basic fundamentals of drumming.

Rene will also challenge students as their skill levels grow, by providing them with fun contemporary materials that help keep the students wanting to study.

"Each student takes their own individual amount of time to be absolutely sure of themselves or their parents have to be sure, that the drums are going to be their instrument of choice."

"Most importantly, I always try to make sure that each student continues to have a fun positive experience while absorbing the knowledge they will need to build a strong foundation for the further use of their musical interpretations."

    René Escovedo is a percussionist, music instructor, and bandleader based in the San Francisco Bay Area. At the age of nine, he got his first jazz drum kit and began his life-long artistic journey as a percussionist. Self-taught, initially he played whatever music was popular throughout the years.

    Later in his career, he went on to study music performance and production at Alameda College.

    A consummate professional who's always working on developing his skills as a musician, he's also the founder and leader of two bands, The Fuse, a powerful instrumental ensemble, and René Escovedo & The New E!, with an emphasis on R&B, Funk, and Soul. René is also an international touring percussionist with Con Funk Shun, the legendary R&B, and funk band that throughout the years has had four consecutive Golds and one Platinum album, 20 hit singles including 8 Top Ten R&B Hits, among other artistic achievements.

    Grateful to those who took the time to teach him, René has gone on to become a music teacher himself, providing small group and individual lessons with fun contemporary materials that support active engagement. He's also a member of the board of directors at Musically Minded Academy and Spotlight On The Bay Entertainment
