Teaching Philosophy
For more than twenty years, I have taught drums to my students in different levels. I teach music and I also compose and produce electronic music. I would love to teach my students not only how to play, but also what the music world has to offer and what characteristics the drumset has in that world. I like to show them the spirit of music and how they can take benefit of it in their life. I believe playing drums is not only an art to learn but also a lifestyle.
Musical Education
I have a bachelor's degree in music from the University of Tehran and an associate degree in music from Universal Music Conservatory. I also took a 6-month course in 2021. My specialty is drums which is the only instrument that I teach but I also play piano, guitar, and a couple of traditional instruments. I have spent most of my life in the music industry, from teaching drums to my talented students to the production of electronic music and singing.
Special Skills and Trainings
I spent my childhood in a house where music played a significant role in our everyday life. 30 years have passed since my childhood years and my love for music gets bigger each and every day. My training was primarily at home, and as such, functions at a deep and natural level within me. These experiences have enriched me both as a music producer and a drum teacher. I invite you to start your journey with me and I will walk you through the process of learning drums and share all of my experience with you.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
