    Mr. Morales is an amazing teacher, role model, and human being. He taught me all of my fundamentals and truly showed me a great appreciation for music. I am now deciding to turn music into a career, thanks to him. He is the reason that I chose the drums. I love Mr. Morales like family! I definitely recommend him as teacher for any age range.

    This man is an absolute legend. You could walk up to Rick knowing nothing about drums and walk away playing rattamatatamaques at 150 bpm no problem. He’s insanely dedicated and passionate about what he does and always makes sure you’re having a good time doin what you’re doin. He might call you a fish or a bonehead sometimes but it’s all outa love, and everything like that🤪. He’s the best, for sure.

    Rick has been working with me for the past 5 years. He has an extensive knowledge of all types of percussion, including drum set. Probably Rick’s best attribute is he is great with our students.

    He always had a very upbeat attitude and made learning a lot of fun. There was never a day where we weren’t having a good time. He was also able to provide amazing instruction and really develop my skills to allow myself for larger growth going into high school.

    My Resume:

    Mr. Morales is a dedicated professional that uses a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, an innate sense of humor and the love of music to aide students in the development of their musical skills. Originally from New York City, Mr. Morales is currently living in Palm Beach County where he works as a percussion clinician in many of the district's middle and high schools. Prior to his move to Palm Beach he taught in Broward County and has retained many of his appointments there. 

    Mr. Morales maintains a very active private lesson studio dedicating himself to the music education of 25 to 30 students. His diversity of musical knowledge and experience allows him to teach all percussion instruments including keyboard as well as maintaining students interested in elementary guitar education. Mr. Morales’s ability is not limited to young students; he has the capacity to stimulate the musical minds of the mature adult learner as well. Of importance is the heart he brings to any project especially involving children with disabilities. Mr. Morales has been quite successful in the unique approach required to stimulate interest and maintain attention of these very special students.

    In addition to his work in the public-school arena and his private students, Mr. Morales keeps a busy schedule playing in four professional bands as well as maintaining his commitments as a member of the Florida Band Masters Association serving as an adjudicator for solo and ensemble and marching band.

    Are usually conclude my lessons with either having a parent or the student take a video of myself playing all the material I have just covered. It works great!

    I've played music my entire life including guitar and piano. Something that I've always love doing. Teaching became a real passion when I started in 1980.
