Study drums with a patient professional who makes learning easy and fun. I have over 30 years of teaching and performing experience. My education includes a BM from NYU, studies at The Drummers Collective, and private studies with some of the world's best drum instructors.
I teach all age groups and ability levels. I have taught drum set and percussion at Concordia College, Trinity Pawling, The Fryebuurg Accademy (ME), and The Connecticut Conservatory of Music and Dance, as well as other locations in Westchester and CT. I'm a published author, "1001 Drum Grooves" (Cherry Lane Music Publishing). The book has sold tens of thousands of copies worldwide.
Drumming is a great form of exercise, improves coordination and motor skills, reduces stress, helps to develop concentration, and enhances cognitive function. Neuroscientific studies have shown that drumming activates multiple brain regions, including the motor and sensory cortices, the auditory cortex, and even the frontal lobe, which is responsible for higher cognitive functions like planning and decision-making.
Areas of concentration include, but are not limited to:
-) Hand Development
-) Rudiments
-) Reading and Interpretation
-) Musical Styles (Rock, Jazz, Afro-Cuban, Funk, Blues, Reggae, World, etc.)
-) Independence/Cordination
-) Critical Listening
-) Transcribing and Writing Charts
-) Working with Metronomes and Click Tracks
-) Tuning and Recording Drums
I tailor all lessons to meet the goals of the student.
I am available to teach at Lagond Music Studio in Elmsford, NY. I can also do house calls. Rates vary based on distance.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon!!!
