Drum Lessons in West New York, NJ

Instruments: Drums

I began teaching private lessons 12 years ago, and always loved to transmit what has been transmitted to me by my great former teachers. I have taught drums to kids as young as 5 to adults as "young" as 50 so far, and I love to adapt my ways of explaining the concepts depending on the age or personality of the student. My experience taught me that we all are different in our way to learn and understand things. Read More

I developed a passion for teaching when I picked up a few students in college. The experience was fulfilling, and I realized that I enjoyed imparting my love for the instrument on others. After graduating, I continued to pick up students and teach private lessons in my home studio. The most important element to learning any instrument is to cultivate a genuine curiousity. I encourage students to listen to a broad spectrum of music, and to find things they like about certain artists and musicians. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to high school. I used teach friends and local kids in the neighborhood. I recently moved to Brooklyn and now have a home studio here where I can give comfortable private lessons on a full acoustic drum set.
