Drums

George has over 50 years of experience in performance and instruction. After majoring in music at Wagner College, he went on to perform with a variety of different groups, event contractors and off Broadway musicals. George wrote and produced a music video that ran on MTV for over a year. While in New York, he studied with Gary Chester and continues teaching Gary’s “New Breed” methods of independence on the drum set. George’s teaching applies to all styles, and, above all, lets you have fun while becoming a better musician.

Outside of teaching, George currently drums for several groups in the Tampa Bay Area and plays as a support musician for both the Florida and Manasota Steel Guitar Clubs.
