Steve has been a great teacher to my son! My son enjoys the drums even more because of Steve’s influence and practice methods. Steve is easy to work with, and has gone above and beyond to help us find drum parts when needed. I would recommend him to anyone!

My son has been taking drumlessons with Steve for more than 6 months. Steve is a great teacher; my son enjoys his lessons and he has consistently improved his skills and built his confidence. He is very professional and quick to respond. I would highly recommend Steve!

We haven’t found a drum teacher that comes close to Steve. He bonds with our son, teaches in a way that keeps our son happy and engaged, and the results speak for themselves. We have been extremely happy with Steve and highly recommend him to anyone looking for private drumlessons.

Steve is an amazing drum teacher! He has so much patience and understands how to break things down to a level that some one like me, with no prior music experience, can grasp. He tailors his lesson to each individual student and takes the time to come up with a lesson plan that works best for you. I have recommended him to multiple friends and seen how he's helped so many people achieve their drumming goals.

I can't recommend Steve enough as a drum teacher! His passion for music, patience, and ability to tailor lessons to each student’s skill level make him an incredible instructor. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your technique, Steve will guide you every step of the way. His lessons are always fun, engaging, and filled with valuable insights.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to keep my lessons affordable for students, my rates are:
$40 for 30 minute lessons.
$50.00 for 45 minute lessons.
$65.00 for 60 minute lessons.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we'll talk a little about what your goals as a drummer or percussionist are. Together we can create our own plan, designed around our long term goals. Our lessons will include building strong technique and fundamentals, applied to snare drum and behind the kit.
From there, I always ask students what kind of music they like. Whether it's rock, hip hop, or jazz, we can use the fundamentals we're learning to work toward the goal of playing along with music, which is a core part of our lessons.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have bee taught by several great instructors over the years. Growing up near New York City, I was lucky enough to learn from teachers who studied in jazz programs in the area.
Following this experience, I studied under Serge Volpe in New York, to further my playing experience with jazz, gospel, and world music.
The, I studied under Jeff Salisbury at the University of Vermont, specializing in rock and blues drumming.
Following this, I studied under Quentin Baxter in Charleston, SC, to continue my playing in jazz.
