Gerson was super quick to respond to my messages and had everything ready to go right at our appointment time. He connected naturally with my son, creating a really positive environment that helped boost his confidence. After the session, he took the time to share feedback and gave us clear, helpful things to practice together before our next session.

He's a very good teacher, and he matches my pace of learning. Since the beginning Gerson has been patient with my rookie skills, and me not having any drum knowledge, he'll go over the drum. Allowing me to know how it sounds, how it looks on the notation and how to play it. I leave each lesson with a new understanding. I recommend highly recommend him. Thank you!
