Juan Cuco Castellanos JRCuba
About
I have been teaching for 22 years in Europe, Latin America and the USA. The complete formation of my students as Percussionists speaks highly of my teaching philosophy and methodology. I began studying music in Cuba at the age of 5. I completed my M.Music studies at the Instituto Superior de Arte in Havana, Cuba. I was immediately hired as a full time instructor. I have earned my PA teaching certification at Eastern University (2011) Currently, I live in the USA, where I am in great demand as a well rounded Percussionist and a teacher.
