Drum Lessons

Percussion lessons are available for any age student, at any level.   Warren's current student roster spans from 5 years old to 83 years old.  In other words, you're never too young or too old to learn to play drums!  

" Warren is excellent teacher.  He is so warm and patient and knowledgeable.  I can't imagine finding a better drum teacher."

"I have been taking drum lessons with Warren for the past few years.  The experience he brings to his teaching is remarkable.  I continue to learn something new every week and just keep getting better and better."

Each drum lesson is one half hour and taught at Warren's home studio in Southwest Orlando.  One hour lessons are available by request.  It is recommended students take a drum lesson once per week.   Beginners start on a drum pad and move up to a practice set after they advance.

Warren also is experienced in and welcomes teaching children with AutismIt is argued that participating in music therapy allows the person with autism to experience and explore a wider range of emotions.  The nature of music is to combine a secure structure with constant change; in therapy music can form a familiar environment which the person with autism can participate in, occasionally diverting into episodes of more spontaneous and new experiences of play, according to (or sometimes slightly beyond) his or her ability.
