I enjoy watching my students improve every time we meet while having fun! Every student is unique with their own music taste and music style and this makes teaching interesting to me!

After years of performing live and at the studio, I finally wanted to share my knowledge and passion for music with others. I love being a versatile musician playing different types of music, and meeting different types of students makes teaching also interesting and exciting for me!

At first we discuss about the student's musical preferences and goals.  Then we meet for a first lesson to see how it feels and after that we choose how often we will be meeting. Even before our first lesson, students can call, so we can discuss details about our lessons.



I have worked with students from 7 years old to adults in their 50s. I have taught many beginners who have never drummed before, from children to adults. Also, more advanced students who wanted to improve or even prepare to study at a music College.



It would be good to check if the teacher has a lot of actual performing experience, teaching experience and music education. Also, find someone who loves to teach. Usually you can feel that after a short conversation.



My students always make me proud. My student Cameron does not own any drum set but just a drum pad. You can see him on our Youtube page performing a Weezer Drum cover. He only has a one piece drum pad at home and practices 10 minutes daily.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Before a potential drum student reaches us, think "How much time can I put on this?" For example "Can I practice 10 minutes a day on my practice pad?" "How often can I meet for lessons?" Tell the professional what is your goal, and ask and discuss how can we achieve it together!
