Drum Lessons in Manhattan Beach, CA

Instruments: Drums

I like to first get a feel for the students abilities and asses how to teach them by breaking things down to their bare essentials before suggesting a good book to go through and the right exercises.

My teaching experience has always been for the student learning at least ONE new thing from during my lessons. I began teaching non officially to other drummers at various gigs across L.A. that liked what they saw during my performances. Because of this I met a lot of amazing individuals who are going to do great things. I realized that after a few years, I wanted to officially start teaching others because of the joy it gave me to see the light bulb turn on in someones head who felt as if they couldn't get it right.

I am a passionate teacher who relies on POSITIVITY. Small progressions should never go unnoticed and should be praised, even if its just a quick hi-five.
