I am drum performer and instructor in the Washington DC metro area with over 20 years experience pla I began teaching part time in 2001 and enjoy every minute.

Hi, I'm Scott Rabino and have been playing the drums with various bands in numerous styles for nearly 30 years. Several of my former students have received scholarships and others are actively performing up and down the East and West Coasts. I have performed nearly all music styles and tailor each students lesson to the individual. We will learn to play from the songs that inspired you to want to

play to begin with. I teach theory, musicianship, song structure, technique and coordination. I teach all styles and owning a drum set is not necessary to begin. I provide lessons at my home studio but I can come to you if the distance is within reason. I recommend weekly hour long lessons. A 24 hour cancellation policy is preferred but life happens and I understand. All ages and ability levels are encouraged and I can guarantee that each time we meet you will enjoy your time and learn more than you expected.

My Teaching Philosophy:
My immediate goal as a teacher is formulating an individualized, flexible curriculum for each student by taking into account the growth and development that takes place at each lesson. I feel that flexibility is one of the most obvious and overlooked elements of private instruction. Every one of my students is at a different stage of his or her musical career, and each has his own musical taste. One of the problems I encountered in my own first drum lessons was a rigidity that would not acknowledge or utilize any of my natural talents, but attempted to mold me into a particular type of learner. I quit taking lessons soon after and I taught myself instead. So, my teaching concept is to elevate my students' self esteem, excite their musical curiosity, and create a learning environment that is stimulating and rewarding. The first year or so in a drummer's musical life is the most important one. At this point, drummers can get very discouraged and disillusioned by the difficulty of the process. Learning drum fundamentals is a dislocated process that involves a practice pad and requires real determination. In order to motivate this kind of devotion (which may, out of context, seem merely repetitious and unmusical), I constantly demonstrate the direction that each exercise will take my student. We set goals that I know that he can achieve and contextualize the lesson in a song. Field trips and outside playing opportunities are also utilized in my teaching strategy. Beginning students, with just a few lessons under their belt, often can play some simple beats well enough to accompany a blues combo in a casual jam setting. These experiences are often a dream come true to these beginning students, especially the more mature ones.

The Intellectualist

In 2014, at the height of the Ebola crisis, Donald Trump demanded that President Obama "visit & embrace all people in the US who contract Ebola".

This was a vicious attack on a sitting president, something Trump claims he's the victim of on a daily basis.

Let's close year 2015 with what I think is the best drumming video ever: The Gadd/Colaiuta/Weckl showdown of 1989. They played this at the very first Buddy Rich Memorial concert. It must have been SO amazing to be there. There are so many inspiring moments here, it's crazy! Enjoy and I hope you'll have a great year 2016.
