About

I studied Music Education at New York University so you can trust that you're working with a trained professional and I've been teaching the drums for the past 10 years. While I specialize in jazz, I teach all styes including blues, rock, pop, R&B, funk, soul, and classical percussion.

We would begin by having you give me a list of your favorite genres, artists, or songs and I would map out a custom made curriculum for you.

Each song will cover a new concept like theory, technique, rhythm, songs, soloing, improvisation, or other element so that you are gradually increasing your vocabulary and developing your musicianship.

For a warm up, I pull exercises out of the songs themselves so that any patterns or rudiments that you do are directly related to the song that you're working on.

Then, we would work on repertoire. Through almost any song, I can make an arrangement so that you can be playing your favorite music as soon as possible. I teach in a very straight forward and step-by-step fashion so that every note has purpose and comes out as clearly as possible.

Other topics that I cover include music theory, how to practice effectively, the function of each note (melodic statement, resolving a phrase, color, etc), and ear training.

If you need more content or have any questions through the week, please let me know and I would be happy to send you more material. Optionally, you're welcome to send over any videos of yourself for feedback or we can move on to the next topic.

Other subjects that I cover are beginning ear training, music theory, composition for drums, jazz history, and piano.

Serious inquiries only please :)
