My name is Mario and I've been drumming for over 10 years. I love music, and sharing that love through teaching how to play is my passion.

Though I am new to professionally teaching, I've played at various churches throughout my life. As a musician, I understand the frustration of learning a new instrument. Read More

I have a few books I've become fond of (such as Faber, Schirmer, Hal Leonard, etc), but I have gone months at a time using no books at all -- keeping students happy. Not everyone prefers the same approach, and while I can offer expert guidance for those who aren't sure what to do, one of my main goals is simply to experiment with students, an attitude I try to foster in them too: You can work and work on some particular piece or song, but if you did it for extrinsic purposes . . .

My teaching experience goes back into my senior year in high school. I was a student intern for my school at Avon Elementary School.

When it came to teaching percussion, I taught them how to play rhythms with sticks. Read More
