Hello! My name is Sean. I teach private and group drum/percussion lessons. I have over 25 years of professional experience as a drum/percussion teacher and performer. I have worked with students ranging from 5-18 years of age and I have taught as a percussion teacher and ensemble director at many private and public institutions. 

I teach snare, mallets, timpani, accessories, drum set and hand drums. In my lessons we focus on reading music, proper technique and timing. 

Many of my students just want to have fun learning an instrument and playing their favorite songs, some students play percussion with various groups and a few have gone on to major in music at some of the finest colleges in the country including the Eastman School of Music, Northwestern University and Princeton University. 

I earned a Master of Music degree in percussion performance from Northwestern University and a Bachelor of Music degree in percussion performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts.

In my free time I enjoy trading futures and options and training for different types of races including marathons, stair climbs and triathlons.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
