Wonderful Drum Teacher
My granddaughter, has been taking drum lessons with Antoine. She is reserved and a little shy but Antoine immediately made her feel comfortable. She enjoys her lesson every week and always comes away with a positive feeling. Antoine is a natural teacher. He is up beat and gentle but still encourages my granddaughter to do her very best by challenging her each week. I can see constant progress. Antoine has a unique system to teach beginners. He makes it fun. I feel very lucky to have found him.

Fun, thoughtful instructor for kids
My seven-year-old daughter has been taking lessons from Antoine for several months now. I am impressed with how Antoine can bring high-level music concepts down to her level and really make it click in a positive, upbeat way. It's a joy to watch. Antoine's hours and rates are very reasonable and he is flexible yet reliable. We are very happy with his services so far and glad that he has chosen to share his knowledge of drums and music with others.

I went to Antoine for jazz drum lessons. He has already improved my playing greatly after only one month. He is patient, attentive, full of practice ideas and fun. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for drum lessons at any level.

My teaching philosophy:

I teach musical skills through the use of contemporary music while enforcing traditional concepts. I love to share the joy of playing drums with students of any level or age! Having graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston, I had the privilege to study with the top musicians in the world. Now, I wish to share my knowledge with you!
