About Me
I'm an international drum player and tutor based in Philadelphia. My tutoring career over the last twelve years has brought me students of all ages and levels, and my performing career has brought me exciting collaborations with talented artists such as Selda BaÄŸcan, Liraz Charhi, Boom Pam and others.
​
Teaching is as enjoyable and important to me as any other pursuit. In fact, I believe that’s what sets me apart - bringing my experience from the stage and studio to my lessons. Drumming is not a classroom activity, so I focus on the practical things you really want to know, while providing you with the fundamentals you need.
​
Together, we'll develop a lesson plan that suits your goals and the genres that interest you, whether rock, pop, ethnic, jazz, or anything else. I hope that in my lessons you’ll feel free to have fun, grow, and improve
"Ira is an extremely talented yet modest drummer and teacher. He is really easy going so you feel very comfortable with the challenges you face while learning new grooves, numerous methods and styles. It was always fun to come to a session as a beginner (in my 30's) and as I progressed, I was always welcome to bring my own ideas and get Ira's extra guidance or direction to get much better!"
