Kids age 7 and up, as well as adults, are welcome to study.
Jeff is currently teaching lessons at Two Toronto locations: Dufferin and Dupont (1407 Dufferin Street) and The Beaches (70 Silver Birch Avenue.)
Also, Jeff still offers online lessons, for those students who have decided they enjoy the convenience and/or safety of remote learning.
Jeff’s students have access to high-quality digital sheet music, video demonstrations, and detailed summaries of their lesson content. The curriculum is standardized, yet flexible and customizable, depending on the student’s specific goals and interests.
Beginners will learn basic drum set anatomy, standard drum notation, basic music theory, drum rudiments, and simple (or simplified) rock and pop songs.
Intermediate students will learn more challenging drum covers, and also about more specialized styles, such as Funk, Reggae, R&B, Metal, and Jazz.
Advanced students will learn how to optimize their technique and set-up for their own needs, and execute advanced beats and fills with nuance, precision, and musicality.
All students will learn how to make the most of their practice time to achieve their goals!

“Our daughter has taken lessons with Jeff for about 8 years. He has fostered her love of drums and music with his patient and expert instruction. She now performs with confidence and just loves playing. Our daughter actually told us that Jeff is her favourite teacher of anything—ever!”
“Jeff is incredible. His calming nature and limitless patience helps every student reach their full potential and have fun along the way.”
“Jeff is simply the best. In a couple of lessons, I was playing an actual song and was hooked! 4 years later, I love it even more and Jeff’s patience and unique style of teaching has made me an actual drummer. Why did I wait so long to do this?”
“Jeff was my first drum teacher and continues to be my “go to” guy as I continue to learn. I appreciate that Jeff is a really well rounded music educator. Whether you’re a young or mature learner Jeff can help get you where you are hoping to get!”
“Jeff is infinitely patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and versatile–he can teach you any song in any genre. As I have progressed over the years, Jeff has helped me improve at each step. Currently, we are working on ‘mastering’ the rudiments, something I didn’t think I could enjoy as much as I am. If you have ever even toyed with learning the drums, just do it. It’s the most fun thing I have ever done. ”
