Introduction: Get SAFE and AFFORDABLE drum lessons with a Berklee College of Music and Musicians Institute instructor. That's right! I have also toured the globe for the last 15 years so I got everything you need. The studio features 2 drumsets safely distanced apart with all touched surfaces being disinfected after each use. Whether you're a beginner, a seasoned pro or somewhere in between, take your playing to the next level. Lesson plans include: * All styles (jazz, rock, pop, funk, blues, hip-hop, fusion, metal, Latin, world, etc.) * Hand or foot technique * rudiments * fills * sight-reading * odd time * polyrhythms * linear applications * interdependence or 4-way coordination * double bass * rhythmical concepts * improvising * soloing * speed and endurance workouts, and much, much more Please call/text or email if you are interested. My studio is in downtown L.A. I will travel to your home, if preferred. All levels are more than welcomed, including beginners. I would like to work together with you to structure lessons that we both can agree; it will be fun and educational at the same time. I'm very interested in your input, and I can adjust teaching strategies accordingly to match your learning style and interests. It's never too late to learn to play an instrument. If you've been thinking about picking up the drums for a while and have been putting it off or if you already play but your playing has gotten stale, now is the time to get it together.

Steve has been an incredible teacher for my 3 year old son. We tried many teachers to find the right person and Steve’s experience, energy, and teaching style was perfect. He strikes the right balance of making the lessons fun while keeping my son on task. When Steve leaves my son is eager to practice and tell us all about what he’s learned. Highly recommend!

Steve was an absolute lifesaver. I was in desperate need of not only lessons but an actual drum coach that would work with me for hours and put in the time. I had to prepare 24 songs/tracks for a project I was acting in and playing music in and Steve was amazing. He worked with my schedule, was passionate about getting me prepared for the project, and helped me feel confident in playing the set list I had to perform. Steve always checked in and communicated with me. He was kind, patient, and thoughtful in his teaching. He is a total professional that takes the time to break down songs and review as much as needed until you feel good about playing on the set. He doesn’t just demonstrate and expect you to “get it” He teaches you HOW and WHY things work the way they do. The result is that you make progress and feel confident with the instrument. Great person, I highly recommend lessons and coaching with Steve!
