Music Lessons in Cobble Hill, NY

Instruments: Drums

I also provide instruction regarding the actual hardware involved in drumming, drum placement, tuning, and other technicalities, because I have found that students will sometimes blame themselves for the drums (and the sounds they are producing) sounding bad when in reality the drums are simply not tuned or placed optimally. Also, I will often use a bass guitar accompaniment to help the student hear the beat that he or she should be playing along with. Read More

I have been teaching private lessons for almost 10 years.

I love working with kids and adults alike! Read More
