Introduction
Hi! I am a Berklee College of Music graduate and have been teaching professionally since 2011. My lessons focus on techniques and concepts that give you a solid foundation and awareness of what it is that you're doing, which in turn gives you the freedom to explore your own musical creativity in whatever way you want to. Playing to music and creating your own drum parts to songs is a big focus, and when you're ready I'll record you and make a video of your performance before we move on to the next song. Lessons are taught out of my teaching studio in Kearny Mesa at 8280 Clairemont Mesa Blvd Ste 112 San Diego, CA 92111. My rates are $40/half hour, $60/45 minutes and $80/hour. I’m looking forward to working with you!

I started taking lessons with Victor at 27 years old with no prior music experience. After a year of lessons I can honestly say I am shocked at the amount of knowledge and skill I have reading music and playing the drums. Didn't think reading music would be something I needed, but as someone just getting into music I'm so glad I learned it. Victor's way of teaching will without a doubt pave the way for you at whatever pace you want to learn at. Couldn't recommend him enough for a beginner like me.

Details: 26 - 44 years old • No formal training • Can't read music • Traditional drum kit • Rock • Blues • Jazz • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student already has drums • 45 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet) • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Thanks dude, you killed it with the reading! And yeah, your freestyle jams sound great, I’m also very impressed at how quickly you picked things up!

I’ve been taking online lessons with Victor for a few months as a total beginner, and I can confirm that he’s a true pro. He creates structure to each lesson in a way that always leaves me knowing exactly what to practice and why to practice it! His remote teaching style lends itself to punctuality and resourcefulness. As a busy man I always appreciate him being on time as well as all the videos & materials provided to me for learning outside of the lesson. I always look forward to each weekly lesson because outside of him being an incredible teacher, he’s also just a fun dude to hang out with. I have never once doubted the value of his instruction, and I cannot recommend him enough!

Details: 18 - 25 years old • No formal training • Can read sheet music • Understands note durations and rests • Traditional drum kit • What the teacher recommends • Rock • Blues • What the teacher recommends • Yes, the student already has drums • 45 minutes • Remotely (phone or internet)
