FAQ
Do I need my own drum?
No. If you have one, bring it. If not, we’ll adapt with practice surfaces and technique.
Are lessons in Spanish or English?
Either—your choice. The tradition is Puerto Rican; we honor both languages.
Where are lessons held?
In-person (DFW area) or we can arrange a suitable space. No virtual lessons listed by default.
