Review:

Personal Music Instructor

Joseph is an amazing instructor. His patience with his students is unmatched and his easy going manner compliments many different learning styles. Joseph has a fantastic ability to measure the students skill set and move them from where they are, to higher and higher levels. Joseph's experience with many different genres of music allows for the flexibility of lessons to progress at the student's pace, as well as engaging the students interests. Highly recommended.

    Excellent & Passionate Teacher

    Joe is a patient instructor who listens carefully to what the student likes and wants, then crafts accessible activities to help the student surpass their goals. He has a very gentle presence, and knows just how to make a student feel positive about even the smallest progress. As a performer, he has cultivated a thorough knowledge of incredibly diverse and complicated rhythms, and can easily capture the student's interest. I think I've found my forever-teacher!

      Joe was a great first teacher for our drummer

      Joe was an amazing first teacher for our beginning drummer. He was very flexible in terms of times and dates, including being willing to come to our house for the lessons. He is very kind and patient with our child. He provided the foundation building blocks for her. He encouraged her to listen to music with headphones and drum along. Most of the lessons were from various books that he recommended, and then he branched out to songs that she wanted to play. We were very grateful for the start that he gave our daughter and hope that he can do the same for you. Jeremy Stein wrote on Wed, 12 Jul 2017
