Vito Roccoforte is a music industry veteran, a founding member of The Rapture, a global DJ, an accomplished electronic musician and has been playing drums since he was a child. He has recorded with Paul Epworth, Dangermouse, Timbaland, James Murphy, Tim Goldsworthy and Phillipe Zdar on labels such as Universal, Motown, Mercury, DFA and Sub Pop. He has shared stages with Daft Punk, The Cure, LCD Soundsystem, Franz Ferdinand, The White Stripes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Sex Pistols, The Fall and many more. In addition to touring and playing music Vito also teaches drumming and electronic music production. I grew up in a two-teacher household and before becoming a full time musician I worked extensively in childhood education as an assistant Teacher in Elementary Schools for Kindergarten, First and Fifth grade. At the same time, I was also a math and reading tutor for children ages five through twelve. Now, I'm a father and as I began teaching my son and his friends to drum, I remembered those lessons and made sure to get students behind a real kit to engage their creativity from the start. Watching their imaginations spark reminded me why I was drawn to both music and education all those years ago and so, I have decided to open up my studio to other students using what I've learned over my years of recording and touring to teach the skills needed to play on-stage, in the studio and with other musicians. .
