Drums and Percussion

Beginner to Advanced Students. All ages.

I have been teaching drum-set as well as percussion in various musical styles for the past 25 years. Some of the instruments I teach are drum-set, conga, bongos, timbales, cajon, and various samba instruments such as pandeiro, repique, caixa and surdo. The Styles include, jazz, Rock, Afro-Brazilian, and Afro-Cuban. Some of the things I emphasize in teaching are, the things students want learn (songs, styles), and the techniques that go with it. Also my passionate topic is “How” to practice which is often overlooked in teaching.

I teach at various locations including Astoria(map below). I can also travel offsite as well if the alternate location is suitable for lessons.

If you are lookin for group classes, clinics, and master classes, please don’t hesitate to ask me as well.
