Drum lessons in your own living room.
Hi, I'm Peter. I've been playing drums for about ten years and teaching for the last four. I come to your house for lessons, so nobody has to fight traffic or sit in a waiting room. I teach all over Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, and the cities around them.
You can also email me at peterafif.drums@gmail.com. And if you want to see how I play before you decide, I'm on Instagram.
30, 45, or 60 minutes.
Every lesson is just you and me, working on music you actually like. A lot of my students had never touched a drumstick before their first lesson, so don't stress if you're brand new. No kit at home yet? Ask me before you buy anything, I'll save you some money.
This is what most people book. There's time to warm up, clean up technique, and still spend most of the lesson actually playing songs. Before I leave you'll know exactly what to practice for the week.
Book 60 minutesThe right call for younger kids who can't do a full hour yet, or anyone squeezing drums into a packed week.
Book 45 minutesA short one. Good if you're trying lessons out for the first time, or you just want help with one specific thing.
Book 30 minutesYour first lesson is 50% off, so it's an easy way to see if we click. After that, pricing depends on the lesson length and how far I'm driving. Text or call me at (714) 512-0070 or send an email and I'll give you a straight answer.
Here's how it goes.
Reach out
Text me, call me, email me, or grab a time online. Whatever you'd normally do.
I come to you
I show up at your place with everything I need to teach. You don't drive anywhere.
You play
We get behind the kit and play. After each lesson you'll know exactly what to work on before the next one.
"I love this instrument. Watching a student nail a groove they couldn't play last week never gets old."
I've been playing drums for over ten years and teaching for the last four. I do lessons at students' houses because honestly, it just works better. People relax at home, and relaxed students learn faster.
My students range from little kids sitting at a kit for the first time to adults who waited decades to finally learn. It doesn't matter where you're starting from. We'll start there.
We'll get into technique, timing, and reading music. But most of the lesson is spent on the songs that made you want to play drums in the first place. That part matters more than people think.
House calls across Orange County.
Don't see your city? Message me anyway. If you're somewhere in or around Orange County, I can probably get to you.
Want to hear me play?
Makes sense, you're hiring a drum teacher. I post clips on all three of these.
Questions? Just ask.
Texting me is the fastest way to get an answer. Ask about pricing, scheduling, what kit to buy, whether your kid is old enough, whatever you're wondering about. Asking doesn't commit you to anything.
