Introduction

My journey in music started during my middle school years when I joined the band, and it continued throughout high school and college, and into my professional career. Along the way, I've had the privilege of learning from exceptional teachers, including some of the most accomplished musicians in Los Angeles. These experienced mentors exposed me to a diverse range of percussion instruments and styles, providing me with a well-rounded musical education. Their instruction and guidance expanded my horizons and deepened my understanding of different musical genres. Drawing from my professional experiences and the extensive training received from these esteemed instructors, I have become a reliable reference for various aspects of music. Whether it's exploring different percussion instruments, delving into specific musical styles, or seeking guidance on musical theory and technique, I can offer valuable insights and expertise. I consider myself fortunate to have had such enriching musical opportunities, and I am excited to share my knowledge and passion for music with my students. Through my teaching, I strive to provide a comprehensive and well-informed perspective that encompasses a wide range of musical elements. I offer private lessons to all ages and create lesson plans for each student to ensure personal and academic goals are met, and even surpassed, all while striving to make learning music fun and enjoyable.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Here is my lesson rate, which are based on a pay-per-lesson structure: 30 minutes: $50 per lesson Additionally, I offer a monthly prepay discount for those who prefer to prepay before the 1st of each month: 30 minutes: $40 per lesson Take advantage of the monthly prepay option to save on your lessons while ensuring your spot for the month. It's a convenient and cost-effective way to commit to your musical progress.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I understand that each private student is unique. That's why I take a personalized approach to teaching, tailoring each lesson to the student's individual abilities and goals. When a new student joins, I begin by assessing their current ability level. This allows me to understand their strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. From there, I work collaboratively with the student to define their musical objectives and aspirations. By incorporating the student's goals into the lesson plan, we create a natural and individualized curriculum that focuses on helping them make music on their instrument. I believe that learning should be enjoyable, so I strive to make the lessons fun, engaging, and relevant to their personal interests. Through this student-centered approach, I aim to foster a love for music and provide the necessary guidance and tools for each student's music career. Together, we will embark on a fulfilling and rewarding path, tailored to your unique abilities and aspirations.

I have relevant qualifications that make me well-suited for teaching drum and percussion. Here are the key highlights: 1. Bachelor's Degree in Percussion Performance: I completed a rigorous program at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB), specializing in Percussion Performance. This provided me with comprehensive knowledge of techniques, music theory, and ensemble playing. 2. Teaching Experience: With several years of teaching experience, I have worked with students of various ages, skill levels, and musical backgrounds.

With my education, teaching experience, leadership in band settings, and international exposure, I offer comprehensive drum and percussion instruction.
