Music Lessons in Rancho Park, CA

Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion

I've taught privately for over 30 years and have been teaching from my home studio in South Pasadena since 1994.

It is my job and my goal to help the student discover where they want to take their musical journey and help build the skills to get them there. Read More
