My first hour lesson with Dor was instructive and helpful. We laid out the groundwork for improvements and I look forward to returning and taking more lessons with him.

Dor is great to work with; he is adept at identifying a drummer's strengths and any areas that need support. I came to him after seven years without lessons, and after two lessons he has already helped me refresh old skills and explore new techniques. Definitely recommend!

Dor is an exceptional teacher and musician. He fosters a comfortable learning environment where you can really let loose on the drums! Every lesson yields noticeable improvements. I've never played the drums before, and I would 100% recommend Dor to anyone who's trying to learn!

I have been a student of Dor's for over four months now and the experience has been fantastic. In lessons, Dor has sought to both challenge and encourage me so that I am continuously learning new things but not overwhelmed with information. He seems truly invested in the progress of his students, and is patient and personable enough to tailor his teaching to my learning style. His expertise and dedication to the craft are evident in each of his lessons. I highly recommend Dor to both beginning and advanced student alike.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer a discount for lesson bundles!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We first look at where the student is, their level of experience and what they want to achieve. Then I identify what the student might need the most at the moment and we build on that. Our focus is to play with the student's favorite music from day one and we build on that, at the student's pace.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Bachelor's degree from Berklee College of music
Master's degree from New England Conservatory
