Instruments: Drums
Apart from being the drummer for Seek Irony, I worked as a professional session drummer for ten years before moving to the US about a year and a half ago. I used to play drums for half of the music industry in Israel. So far, I’ve recorded drums on over fifty records and performed over a thousand shows in my drumming career.Right before moving to the US, I was asked to record drums for a special musical project on a song that involved Israel and China’s top singers and was meant to celebrate a twenty-year anniversary of diplomacy between the two countries.

I have a philosophy that playing music is a genuine demonstration of expression and feeling and I teach students to channel their own inspiration and passion into the basic principles of modern and non- modern music styles. Setting goals is the best way for the student to maximize each instructional lesson, and at the pace in which the student progresses, they will find great satisfaction in achieving goals and finding the potential of expression they have inside them :].

Instruments: Drums
Music is my passion. Coming from a family of musicians, I was inspired at a young age. At 8 years old, I started playing the drums. My grandfather, who played for Tommy Dorsey, was my deepest inspiration and motivated me to dial into my interest. Starting out, I played in church, the school jazz band, and took private lessons with Edd Dicapua. In 2006 I began teaching private lessons. In high school and some of college I went on tour with different bands. Read More

I started playing drums and percussion 12 years ago, both classically, and privately trained. I was taught all play styles, and approaches to percussive arts. In high school, I was apart of a drum line and in 2015, I started drumming in a Rockabilly group in southern Illinois. Shortly after, I began to fill in for a rock band, jazz band, and another rockabilly band in the area. Since moving to Texas, I have started to teach with Hays CISD as a guest teacher/tutor.

Does music run in your family? Tell us a little about your musical family members.
Well, not exactly... I come from a rather large family and instead of giving you a history of each family member's music performances, let me just tell you this:
Growing up, we regularly had "company" over (e.g., people from church, neighbors, relatives visiting, or friends from my parents' work, etc.) as well as friends of my 3 older brothers.
The stereo was usually on in the background during these times. My parents, being Boomers, have inundated me with many musical influences from their youth.
My older brothers exposed me to the most popular artists at the time. Music was also played in the car wherever we went.
All this is to say while there were no instruments involved usually - I was exposed to a lexicon of some of the greatest music of the 20th Century and it inspired me to make great music myself!
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I always understood the connection from one to the next...
When I started on the (alto) saxophone, I learned about other saxophones (soprano, tenor, baritone, etc.) and recognized they all read music the same way, they are all put together the same way and essentially played the same way, so, while there are noticeable differences in size and exact timbre, going from one to the other never phased me.
I realized if I understood rhythm, and could read treble clef music, then how many other instruments have that in common.
Woodwind instruments basically are fingered left hand on top, right hand on the bottom, with index-middle-ring fingers performing most of the work.
Exact embouchure differences are obviously needed to learn from one instrument to the next, but it's not rocket science!
This knowledge carried over into brass instruments, and eventually violin - but I have to credit some seriously outstanding teachers I've had!
Piano & keyboard is something I have self-taught, and for that - I have one piece of advice: Practice!
What is your favorite style/genre of music to play and why?
I prefer to play "GREAT" music - the exact genre doesn't matter!
While my formal education focused mainly on Western music through different time periods (e.g., Renaissance, Baroque, Classic, Romantic, etc.) I do ultimately prefer pop music of various styles from the mid-late 20th Century on up to today!
When did you decide to become a professional musician? Was it a gradual decision or was there a defining moment for you?
As I kid, I held mini-concerts for neighbors to hear. When I joined band in middle school, I insisted on performing a solo at each concert.
I also participated in as many local talent shows as possible.
By high school, there were different groups and ensembles I was either a member of or was asked to come play with.
Musically, I was noticed and became known around campus as "the music guy".
I enjoy practicing - looked forward to it, and even during the frustrating moments I knew I was just a step closer to reaching "the next goal".
I invite my students to broaden their expectations and of course - practice EVERY DAY!!
