STUDIO LESSONS

Old-school lessons where you come to my house 1x per week.

SF Bay Area Lessons

In addition to the Doing Drums Online Coaching Program and Doing Drums Online Courses, I offer regular old private lessons at my home studio in Richmond, CA.

I teach a whole range of drums and percussion, and I teach piano, keyboards, and music theory. No experience is required to start lessons, but I also routinely prepare students for college auditions… it’s a wide gamut and I like it that way! 

We’ve got access to everything in my studio of 20 years in the making, from professional instruments to recording equipment to lights and video capabilities.

Lessons at my home studio are currently limited to “middle school age” and above.  I love working with kids, but I’ve got two of my own and I stay busy working with mostly elementary aged kids through Get Empowered.
