Private Music Lessons in Daly City, CA

I have taught many styles of singing for more than 20 years. I am effective and I work quickly. I make sure my students get their money’s worth at every lesson.

Pedagogy is something that I love to do !! As I believe to teach is to learn twice. Little learning is dangerous - my policy it’s okay to be slow learner provided one achieves mastery !! I’m here to help you from all angles to become a forever learner , seeking and growing knowledge.

My focus is quality of practice and performance. I encourage my students to learn and play what they like and do it well. I’ve been teaching over 30 years. Thank you for your consideration.

For 20+ years, I have been part of Cairo’s diverse music scene, performing live with a variety of musical acts and teaching drums to students for 12+ years. I’ve had the opportunity to learn and play different genres with a particular affinity for rock, jazz/funk, electronic music and Egyptian percussion, having been the drummer for The American University in Cairo Arab music ensemble for many years. I am super passionate about drumming and it is important that lessons are fun and engaging. I like to mix up the content of the class and am flexible as to the student’s objectives and needs. I like to talk in terms of concepts and approach to drumming, both mentally and physically, in order to visualize and simplify ideas. I am quite detail oriented when it comes to foundational technique with a strong belief that understanding rhythmic relations and styles is key to significantly faster improvement. -Learn basic to advanced drumming skills: technique, independence, orchestration and understand different musical styles of drumming. -Choose to focus on drum kit, Egyptian percussion (tabla/darbuka, duf) or both. -All skill levels welcome (ages 5+) -Taught in a safe, fun environment in Upper Rockridge.
