We teach hand percussion, congas, bongos, cajon, frame drums, drum set auxiliary percussion, and mallet instruments like xylophone and vibraphone, with lessons arranged around each student’s musical goals and favorite styles.
Lessons focus on technique, time feel, reading where appropriate, and musical application in rock, jazz, funk and world rhythms.

Every lesson plan is customized, with performance coaching and incremental skill development to get you playing the music you care about.
