About Me
My name is Kenny and I have been a part of the Austin Music scene since 1986. I have played locally, nationally and internationally. I have done many things in my life, but besides playing music, teaching is my next longest run. I have taught for over 25 years. I will currently teach at my home or your home for anyone looking to take drum lessons in the South Austin, Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos areas. I am also teaching online for those too far away to drive. -APPROACH: My approach to teaching drums is that I am patient and teach to the student's goals. I do not teach specific styles of music. Instead, I teach a student how to play the instrument, touching on different styles along the way, making the student a more well-rounded and confident player while having fun. And isn't that what playing music is about?-TEACHING SPECIALTIES: *Classical Percussion *Drum Set *Latin Percussion, with an emphasis on Afro-Cuban music Salsa

Review:

Curt S

Kenny is a wonderful drum teacher and a great guy. He taught me from square one and over time, helped me develop the confidence to start playing live gigs. He has a clear teaching method and the patience to allow you to develop at your own pace. I always looked forward to my lessons with him. Curt S wrote on Mon, 30 Nov -0001

    As a professional musician in Austin, Texas, I've had the great pleasure of playing with Kenny for many years. He's a great drummer with a command of many styles and keeps excellent time. Kenny has a great sense of professionalism and will be able to pass on many tricks of the trade and the knowledge of what it takes to be a working drummer, and professional musician.
