His drum practice is rooted in body awareness and focus. Drew taught me a few patterns that he played along with me, he even wrote them out for me so i can practice at home. We went over note values and did some repetitions on both sides leading up to playing an essential rock groove at the end. I played the groove correctly a few times! It was really rewarding. His teaching approach is empowering, and I was able to relax and do my best : Name: Drew Koltun Date: 2020-03-16 20:21:25 Title: Janel B. Body: Working with Drew was an overall great experience. Drew is very attentive, patient and thorough. He was very encouraging and gave gentle reminders to stay relaxed, take deep breaths, not beat myself up when I made small mistakes, and to just groove and feel the music rather than overthink it. His lesson flowed perfectly and I must say that my over all favorite part of the lesson was drumming along side Drew and watching his expertise and light shine! I would happily recommend Drew to anyone serious about learning to play and love the drums! Name: Drew Koltun Date: 2020-03-16 20:22:12 Title: Daniel L.

Years of Experience: 18 years Location Options: In Home Travel Radius: 5 Genres: Rock Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons,Bass Guitar Lessons Overview: Born and raised in the Philippines, Rose, picked up the guitar at age 12 and even though playing keyboard was her first love, the guitar was where she found her passion. Self-taught, she has accumulated various influences ranging from Filipino alternative rock, to NWOBHM, to Blackened-Death Metal. Currently living in Orange County, California, Rose keeps busy working as a licensed nurse by day and by night as a guitarist of Infinite Death (Whittier, CA) and Cowgirls From Hell (All-Female-Pantera-Tribute band from San Diego, CA). October 2012 was when she joined Infinite Death to complete a melodic-two-guitar-attack from what used to be an instrumental trio of guitar-bass-drums. Josh Palomar, guitarist/songwriter of the band, persuaded her to give EMGs a try and upon installing EMG 81 on the bridge of her Jackson RR3, the guitar-duo found their sound at last. Heavily influenced by the Swedish-melodic-death-metal sound, the band was recognized as one of OC Weekly’s 10 Best Underground Metal Bands of 2014 and “continues to showcase haunting live shows” (OC Weekly). Infinite Death has released a demo “Smoked To Death” (2012) and their debut EP “Beyond The Gates” (2013). They are on the cusp of releasing their next EP entitled “The Endless Suffering” out early 2016.

He has knowledge and passion for music, but also seems to have really listened to my daughter and learned what she likes. Practice with Jair is NOT just about drilling and rudiments, but they have fun, too, and he talks to her also about things like being in a band. She has really, really enjoyed her lessons with Jair: she's shy, but from about the second lesson, she seemed really comfortable with him. Jair was also very flexible about scheduling lessons.
