Drum Lessons in Brookhurst Center, CA

Instruments: Drums

As I have a cool studio to teach out of, this is where my students usually come. It happens that I go to their house occasionally, in case the student is young. Otherwise, I believe the student would benefit out of being in my music studio. It's a step into the real world. The vibe is good and there are 2 drum sets ready to go! I am easy-going compared to some other teaching approaches. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was a student at the Los Angeles High School for the Arts. While pursuing my own education I also had five private drum students ranging from the ages of 7-15. I am fortunate enough to have learned a great deal about teaching all different ages from my father, who has been a private guitar teacher for over 35 years. During my time at Berklee College of Music, I taught group clinics and while our tour with the Karen Lovely Band I mentored mentally handicapped music students in the Netherlands with a group called United By Music.

The way I teach is about showing the student "the dance" of drums. The exercises and rudiments they practice are the movements in a dance. For example, with Punk drums the movements need to be mastered and played fast so the student will have to practice to get the movements up to speed instead of focusing on the beat. With Pop drums the movements need to be comfortable but precise as the student learns the importance of a metronome and how to relate to it by thinking of it as a member of the band. Read More
