We have embarked on a venture of community and team building incorporating our combined passions of movement, music, and the desire to help people be more healthy.

Michelle offers several yoga classes throughout the week including the Monday morning Rise & Dance class for which I have been joining her on drums! We’ll be available, in the near future, for community/team building events, drum/dance circle facilitating for parties and other similar events. More news to come!

Been on the fence about it, but thinking now might be the right time? Well, you just may be right! Leave me a message HERE

We can go over anything from basic rudiments, to your favorite drum beats in your favorite songs, technique, fills, all styles of music. I can also help you prepare for college auditions. This is especially beneficial if you plan to audition for or attend Berklee College of Music as I taught there for several years and belonged to the team of teachers who conducted the admission and scholarship auditions for the college.

For Berklee auditions I can do coaching and consulting for all instruments.But my specialty area is rhythm section( piano, drums,bass,other keyboard instruments, and guitar)

I offer lessons in person (in Los Angeles) or online on skype. Get in touch for more info or to schedule a time!

It’s a fun, and high quality musical performance! They’ll be glad they came. To my best knowledge, this is our only show in the Philippines.
