Rhythmic Bloom, Drums and Percussion Lessons

Introduction: I have been performing and recording professionally for over 15 years, at almost every level of the music business, from playing major jazz, pop and world music festivals with famous artist, to small clubs with local heroes; I have the experience to guide you through your own journey in music. aside from my time as a performer and educator, I have worked as musical director, helping to prepare bands for their big tours and concerts; I have the first hand experience and know how to communicate that knowledge and wisdom to you. Not only have I cultivated years of experience on the bandstand, in the studio, and as an educator and coach, I have also studied extensively; I am a graduate from Berklee College of Music, and have gone on to many further studies with some of today’s most in demand drummers and percussionists (Joey Baron, Dan Wiess, Matt Moran, Ricardo Monzon). I continue to go in-depth studying many of the classic and cutting-edge percussion techniques and methods, to guide my students towards the best ways to achieve their personal musical goals. The lessons are about getting you playing the music you love at the level you dream about. A careful balance of technique, repertoire, and theory come together to help you get where you want to be. I have explored many of the avenues of the drumming world, and know many of the best routes to get you there, all while keeping it fun, interesting, and fulfilling. I take great joy in all aspects of music and percussion, including seeing my students achieve things that they previously thought out of their reach. Seeing music enrich the lives of my students and their communities; that's why I'm an educator as well as a performer.
