Francis provides drumlessons to my son virtually and is truly amazing, professional, patient, and incredibly talented. He assigns homework that encourages different levels of practicing and advancing in skills as each week goes by. He is extremely flexible and works within our schedule. My son truly loves working with Francis and I wish we could give 10 stars. Would recommend +++++

Francis has been my son's drum teacher for approximately two years. He is an excellent instructor and my son has improved significantly under Mr. Francis. He is great with kids and is able to relate to him very well and make his music lessons fun. He picks music that my son likes which motivates him to work harder and practice more often. My kids have had music lessons with several different teachers and I can say that Francis is by far the best.

Francis really breaks down what his students need to master in a way that makes sense. He sees the needs of each student and meets them. Lessons are fun, engaging, challenging, and always about growth.

I recommend his lessons to everyone who is willing to start learning how to play drums and to the ones who want to improve their drumming skills with a real pro, of the highest level.

I've worked with Francis both as a drum student and as a roadie.
Francis is an amazing person, extremely professional and doesn't rest until everything has met the highest standards!
It was a great pleasure to work with him!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Through the trial lesson, the student and I get to know each other. I introduce myself, we talk about the student's goals and what level he/she is at the moment, favorite songs and artists, etc. I make sure the trial lesson is fun and productive. I want the student to learn on the trial lesson and walk out excited to keep moving forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BA in Music Education with Honors and 19 years of experience teaching private and group music lessons. I also graduated in Drum Performance from the Musicians Institute (MI), in Los Angeles, CA with straight A's.
