"I
showed up with no experience drumming and Stefano tailored
a study program for me that got me playing my favorite songs
within a few weeks. Thanks Stefano!"
Nathan Temple
"Stefano
is a great, fun teacher for all levels of drummers. I started
out as an intermediate drummer not knowing what to expect,
and I've gotten a lot better since then. He has helped me
to improve my timing. I love a challenge and if you're looking
for one, Stefano is the guy to go to." Frederick
Gonzalez
"I went in knowing nothing about drumming, and I am now
a member of my high school varsity drumline. Stefano makes
learning fun, and is always available by phone or email if
I have any questions." Matthew
Ramirez
"I can't say enough nice things about Stefano and his
teaching methods. He is patient and very educated in the art
of drumming. My son learned to play the double bass pedal
during his first lesson. No one teaches that! Stefano is kind
and reliable and you will learn the basics of drumming as
well as share in the love he has for music. Stefano Rocks!!"
Hayley Mac Leay
"Stefano
is so understanding and always helpful. It makes a world of
difference when you have a teacher that genuinely wants the
best for their students. Stefano is definitely the one to
go to. He's a true drummer." Shanna
Clift
"After my first drum lesson, I immediately knew that
Stefano was the right teacher for the job. His patience and
qualifications were impressive and though I didnt know
much about what to expect from a drum teacher, I felt that
his positive nature and his enthusiasm for teaching would
make a comfortable learning environment for me
and I
was right.
The learning tools he supplies are most helpful, and it comforts
me to know he is only an email away if I have any questions
to which he always responds in a timely manner. His studio
is quaint, but well equipped and is among a number of other
music studios which I have to say is pretty awesome. Its
like being part of a really cool club.
Its now been six weeks, and the time and attention he
has given to help me is not only exemplary and ample, but
MUCH appreciated. The fact that someone cares as much as I
do in helping me/pushing me to achieve my goal is truly priceless.
Thank you, Stefano." Heather Freedman
"Stefano has the unique insight to perceive the level
of your drumming and adjust his teaching in order to advance
you faster and more effectively." Jim
Bright
"I think that Stefano is a great teacher- not just a
great drum teacher but a wonderful teacher and a terrific
person. He is always prepared, intuitive, patient and professional
and seems to tailor the drum lessons to my individual needs.
In a very short time I felt confident and competent on the
drums. Knowing how to drum properly has made drumming more
enjoyable than I could have ever imagined and I sincerely
could not have done it without the tutelage of Stefano."
Todd Gray
"Stefano
is an amazing drum teacher. He teaches in such a manner that
is not threatening or condescending, yet uplifting and positive.
He is patient, yet understands that the student wants to just
hammer away and make lots of noise so he mixes the basics
with permission to let loose.
He is also very individualistic in his teaching, meaning he
really focuses on what you are asking and where you need help.
For instance, I sometimes learn best by watching, so if I
ask him to show me something he readily does. Or, if I am
thinking way ahead, such as how I may use a flam in a song,
he doesn't get impatient and say, "we'll get to that,"
but instead, answers the question and talks about how it will
be worked into our lessons. I highly recommend Stefano to
anyone who wants to learn drums the right way." Bill
