Paul K., Drums Teacher, Queens
(718) 608-6080
About Me:
Music is an instrument for teaching about life as well as the art. I teach you how to analyze the music from the beginning of our lessons so that you don't have to consult the teacher every time. I encourage creativity and individuality in your expression, and make it a point to connect music to other parts of your life so that new concepts are more easily understood. Also I will help you understand the story behind the music.
