Private Lessons with Mr Griffin
Mr Griffin
Mr. Griffin teaches drums to students of all ages and skill levels. He believes all drummers,
regardless of their experience, can enjoy connecting with music by building off a foundation of
simple drumming songs. In his approach to teaching the music theory aspects of drumming,
such as drum rudiments, he strives to instill that these concepts are simply tools to help us
understand music; which helps us unlock our own creativity! Mr. Griffin began studying music
at 6 years old, starting on piano and switching to drums at age 10. At Oberlin College and
Conservatory, he studied drums with Billy Hart and Ari Honeig, earning a BA in Jazz Drums and
Psychology. Mr Griffin has been playing live performances since beginning drumming and
looks forward to recording and releasing music with his bands Unto and Sweetbriar. He has
also recorded with artists The Surrealists, Sarah Krohn, and was a member of the Oberlin Jazz
Ensemble and School of Rock Allstars.
