5/5
Greg is a highly skilled musician, passionate and inspiring. He has excellent teaching methods and adjusts his lessons to the abilities and interests of his students. He helps me develop my creativity as well as strengthening my technique. Such a pleasure to have lessons with him! I highly recommend him as a teacher.

Our 11-year-old son LOVES his drum lessons with Greg! Greg communicates well, is always on time and very polite. Thank you Greg!

Greg is teaching my six year old son drums. My son does 30 minute lessons and really enjoys them. Teaching young children can be challenging as they often get distracted easily and have shorter attention spans. Greg is good at redirecting and adapting the lesson that fits the child specifically. He also takes the time to debrief the parents once the lesson is over and go over any notes with them.

Gregory is a drummer and composer hailing from Toronto, Ontario. He began his musical journey at a young age, studying piano and cello throughout his childhood. Greg was first exposed to the drum set in high school; a discovery that propelled music from a hobby into a vocation. Throughout high school Greg performed in various jazz and concert bands, small ensembles at the Humber Community Music Program, and at Roy Thomson Hall with the CISMF Ontario jazz band. Greg was first exposed to teaching music through volunteer work with the We Are One Jazz Project, a music education initiative founded by pianist Barry Harris. After high school Greg was accepted into the Bachelor of Music program for Jazz Drum Performance at the Schulich School of Music, where he graduated in the Spring of 2019. While living in Montreal Greg has performed with various McGill ensembles, such as Big Band II, in addition to recording and performing with various local artists such as Sarah Rossy, James Parm, and Algorhythm. Greg began teaching drum set privately in 2016, and has had multiple students since, from complete beginners to students that he has helped prepare for succesful auditions at a university level. Greg currently resides in Montreal, where he is involved in various projects, as well as working freelance as a drummer, composer, and educator.
