It depends on the age. For younger students, we may start with basic drumming or percussion techniques, drumstick grips and rudiments.

I began my teaching career almost 20 years ago at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music. While I was there, I worked with students of all ages and levels of playing ability. From that experience, I was able to not only develop a teaching method, but also to adapt and adjust that teaching method to accommodate for each student's unique personality and learning style. During my time there, I wanted to incorporate musical concepts that I learned from playing tablas in my lessons with drum set students. Read More

Wherever you are on your musical journey is the only possible place to be. Read More
