Donald has always loved music from an early age. He began playing drums at the age of 3 and continued his education by going to college at Glendale Community College and learning the Audio Production side of the industry as well. His musical influences include Rock, Pop, Country, Funk and R'N'B drumming and production. Donald's favorite thing about music is playing, learning and having fun, and his favorite thing about teaching music is children learning and having fun playing, right along with me. One of his favorite teaching experiences was sharing the learning experience with my own kids. When taking lessons with Donald you can expect patience, learning the basics and growing at your own level. He looks forward to getting to know you as a student and learning about your specific goals, interests, and learning style. Book a lesson now and get connected right away!
