I had years of teaching experiences back home to Italy in Upright Electric bass and trumpet and I supported as a musicians many Berklee Faculties during their classes.

My ultimate goal is to help each student of mine have a musical connection that they can take anywhere with them in life.

For beginning students of any age, I focus a lot on technique and building good habits. I will always use Stick Control by G.L. Stone, which has great material for a beginner drummer/percussionist.

This is usually best solved by helping a player to re-examine his or her approach to applying what they already know. Read More
