Instruments: Drums
I start every lesson with the first lesson from my book called DRUM STUFF. It's what I call Basic Beat # 1 and it is the foundation on ANY song in 4/4 timing. As the student progesses, we work on other lessons with the goal of playing songs from various publishing companies, music they may have from band or songs I have personally written out or that they may have heard on the radio.

Music has allowed me to travel to 40 of the 50 states. I have played a part in writing, recording and releasing 12 records in my life and performed professionally over 1,000 concerts on a wide range of drums/percussion instruments. I have also been fortunate through music to meet so many wonderful musicians and people from almost every culture around the world which expanded my understanding of the world outside of whatever city I live in.

Instruments: Flute Drums
For those of you who are just picking up an instrument, I begin things by pointing out the parts of your instrument and how to maintain, assemble, repair, and clean your instrument. The next step is creating a pleasant sound on your instrument. After a sound can be played on the students instrument, I will use beginning books that I will provide the students, and my own music to help a student learn notes and rhythms. Read More

Reading music is essential. To me musicians who don't know how to read music are like people who speak without undertsanding the meaning of the words they say. I also focus on ear training and understanding the instrument naturally, being that I feel its best for the player to have a mulititude of approaches to their understanding of their craft. Books I use in my methods are Carmine Appice Realistic Rock, Rockin Bass volumes 1 and 2, Mel Bay's Killer Fills, and Buddy Rich Snare Drum Rudiments. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago, and have been consistently teaching students in my home studio for the last 5 years, as weII as teaching at SchooI of Rock Green VaIIey for 3 years. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Drums
If you play more than one instrument, how did you decide to start playing the second? (Or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc)!
I play some guitar and I can move around a piano. The reason is that, when you get passionate about music, you want to try and make more music, understand it better.
What do you think is the hardest thing to master on your instrument?
Patience, discipline and the mechanical aspect of the drumset. Once the mechanical aspect (how and what to do) is solve, then you have taken a big step on your instruement.
If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Bachelor's Degree on Arts, Perfomance Drum Set and a Minor in Latin Studies and Performance. I always love to play music and I wanted to get better at it. Play different styles and learn from amazing professors.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
It started with the visual aspect. Seeing a drummer play seen a lot of fun. When I sat down and play the drum set for the first time, I was struck by the sound and vibration. It pulled me right away.
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
I got to study at Berklee College of Music and play with musicians from all over the world. Met amazing people and learn from teachers and other students. I was the president of a student group called Rhythm Club were we hosted clinics and had the chance to met percussionist from all over the world. I started my own project as band leader with profesional musicians. I also had the oportunity to tour and perform on 12 different states.
I have given clinics and in and outside the United States.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
It was not a teacher per se. I always loved music and the visual of drums and the drummer playing caught my attention. I had teachers who inspired me to play more and better and still, I get inspired when I hear someone play.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There is no specific answer but rather different opinions. In my opinion, when the child has a sense of discipline then that is a good sign. Having a lesson requieres the student to pay attention to what the teacher is saying. Patience from the teacher is a must but the willingness of the student must be there as well.
When will I start to see results?
It depends on how well the student have manage to understand the information given plus the time invested on practicing. Setting short and long term goals helps the student see the results of his dedication.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Don't practice random things, avoid distractions, take brakes from your practice session, and set short and long term goals. Everytime you sit down and focus when you practice, you are becoming mor efficient in this process. Consistency is the key.
