Marc Mariano: Drum lesson Teacher in Plano, Texas
I have had a tremendous passion for drums and percussion since the age of 12. As a young boy growing up in Colorado, I had a thirst to hone my skills and perform anywhere I had the opportunity.
My passion for drums led me to study with a local instructor, Marc Johnson, who introduced me to jazz and many other genres of music in addition to rock and pop. He was instrumental in expanding my knowledge and appreciation for music.
Much of my earlier performing experiences involved me playing in garage bands as well as playing in my high school bands where I was first chair in the concert, marching and jazz band as an incoming freshman.
At the age of 18, I left Colorado and moved to L.A. to study at the esteemed Musician’s Institute in Hollywood CA under drumming legends Joe Porcaro, and Ralph Humphrey ( Frank Zappa, Al Jarreau, Dancing with the Stars), as well as lesser known but highly respected drummers and other instrumentalist. I graduated with honors and received other accolades for solid groove and overall musical approach.
Over the 30+ years of my career, I’ve have the privilege of sharing the stage and recording in many different countries and across America. I’ve had the honor of performing with so many talented musician such as Stanley Jordan, Melissa Etheridge, Joan Osborne, Harry Connick Sr., The New Radicals and many more.
Music has the ability to take you on an amazing journey and I love to help my students on their own unique journey. Being able to pass the passion of music along to my students is something I love to do.
I teach many different styles and genres of music and love to discover what inspires my students to want to pursue music.
I would love to help you on your musical journey!
