Private Lessons with Joe
Joe
Like many musicians, Joe began his musical journey playing in rock bands with high school friends in basements and garages and school showcases. He then furthered his journey with higher education, graduating with a degree in Jazz Drumming from North Carolina Central University after studying with the acclaimed Branford Marsalis. From playing with a quartet for Thursday night jazz evenings for the likes of Dean Smith, he followed his musical path back to the NYC area. Having developed a love of teaching the craft over the last 15 years, Joe continues to imbue his students with the passion he has for music, self expression, and building self-esteem, even to students as young as 6 years old. Joe continues to play most weekends and record in studio sesions when he's not teaching.
