Percussion Tutors & Teachers for Lessons, Instruction or Help in Tacoma, WA

In 1972, I was introduced to a 12 year old Taiwanese girl who had been living in the United States with her sister's family for about one year.

I really enjoy teaching, I have kids that love completely different kinds of music and is fun to discover what they really like, what I do is really simple I just motivate my students teaching them what they really want to learn, I have to learn songs that they really like and show them how to play them in an easy way using music theory and harmony so they understand a lot more. It works great because they do learn fast and I'm having more students every month by recommendations. I finished my high school in Peru and after that I went to Barcelona(spain) to study music.
