Music Lessons!

Seattle, WA

I am now offering private or group music lessons in Seattle, WA! 

I specialize in Afro-Cuban Jazz and rudimental percussion, but I also teach basic musical concepts as well, such as rhythms, phrasing, structure vs. improvisation, etc. 


These are not your 
regular music lessons
!!


But, I can teach you the basics like:

- reading music
- reading rhythms
- learning how to become a better sight reader
- hearing things you never heard before in your favorite music
- learning how to break down different elements of music that you like     


Or also, specialized things like:

- learning drum rudiments (paradiddles, paradiddle-diddles, flams, rolls, etc...) 
- learning drum techniques (German grip, French grip, Traditional Grip)
- learning conga (hand percussion techniques)                          
- distinguishing between different styles of music (e.g. cha-cha-cha, mambo, rhumba, danzon, son, bomba, plena, bossa 
nova, samba)

                                       ...and much more.
