After one lesson, we knew that Jerry was the right choice. Our son had been expressing interest in classes and Jerry was the first to respond. His background made him a great choice.

Jerry is kind but disciplined, and his passion for percussion is contagious. My sons first lesson had him doing some basic exercises that made him feel excited. Jerry emphasized that practice everyday was essential. He explained how self respect was important and mindfulness, (because your parents are investing in you :)

During the pandemic, Jerry reached out with videos, and even gave my son a free zoom lesson.

He is invested, caring, and passionate about what he does. Highly recommend him for both beginner and seasoned percussionists.

Jerry is awesome! He brings tremendous enthusiasm to music, whether he’s teaching or playing. Students working with him will be exposed to music across genres and will get solid instruction on foundations and musicianship. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

I approach every student on an individualized basis. We will have fun - yet we will also be working (even if the student doesn't realize he or she is "working")
