Experienced tutor in Drum in Milpitas, Joe offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Teaching experience! Joe, as a long time educator, knows how to explain and demo the drum lessons to my two kids. Not just technical issues, Joe also motivates them into learning drum. Highly recommend!

My son has been taking drum lessons with Joe Santoro for the last six years. Over the months and years we have seen tremendous improvement in his drumming abilities. Joe is an excellent teacher. He has been such a positive influence in our son's life. He genuinely cares about his students and wants to see them succeed.

My son has been taking drum lessons with Joe for the last 2+ years. Joe is very patient with kids and he applies his good sense of humor whenever he interacts with kids. He praises my son for job well done as well as points out areas when more effort and practices are needed. Joe is very easy to work with and accommodating whenever we have to move a lesson time due to our scheduling conflict. I recommend Joe wholeheartedly to any parent who has a child interested in Drum/Percussion lessons.

Joe Santoro has been teaching my son, Andre, Drums and Percussion lessons for more than 3 years now and it has helped him with his school band from his Middle School years, and now continuing into High School. He has been performing with confidence and excellence, thanks to the lessons, performance coaching, and life lessons that Joe has instilled in him. Joe is very passionate in his music instructions and this reflects so much on my son's ability to play drums and perform with so much fun and confidence. Five stars are not enough to rate Joe because he gives more than 100 percent to his minions.

Mr. Joe Santoro by far one of the best music instructors that I have the opportunity to work with for my 8 years old daughter. She started at 6 and in the 2 yrs period not only she enjoys playing drums but I can see her confident also improves tremendously. Mr. Santoro is well organized and present his music materials very cleverly to help improve my daughter basic techniques. Mr. Santoro is also very patient and funny at time which help so much with my daughter’s lesson. She enjoys her practices and is looking forward to all of her lessons because of her awesome teacher. We love him dearly for his teaching passion and strongly recommend for any one looking into percussion instrument

Joe is very flexible to work with, he knows how to help kids to improve their skill and is one of those teachers that makes you want to come back! Great teacher, my kids like him a lot!!

Joe is a dedicated and passionate teacher who really cares about his students. My son looks forward to his drum lessons with him every week. He makes lessons a lot of fun while being patient with little kids. I have developed a lot of respect for Joe as a teacher and as a person, esp during this pandemic and how he has handled the whole situation. I have already recommended him to my friends.

My son has enjoyed every bit of the learning experience since he started drum/percussion lesson with Joe two years ago. Joe is not only top-notch on teaching all the techniques, he is also a great mentor, a responsible teacher and extremely organized. Besides the private lessons, he regularly comes to my son's middle school to help supervise the percussion ensemble for all the concert performances. His teaching is both fun and effective, always keeping the kids motivated. Joe is indeed one of the best drum/percussion teachers you can ever expect!

Joe is one of the most passionate teachers we have had the honor of knowing. Our son has been taking drum lessons with him for about two years, and we are simply amazed at the progress he has been making in drumming since. It goes without saying that Joe is instrumental for his remarkable achievements at the school bands. In addition, Joe is extremely fun to work with and once you become a student of his, you will never look back.

Joe has extensive knowledge and teaching experiences. He tailors to my skill level and guides me well as I reach to the next level. Humorous, creative, flexible -- all you have wanted for a great teacher!

What I like about having lessons with Joe Santoro are that he is very fun. He makes the lessons fun and I always have a laugh. Also, he has a lot of patience and, the way he teaches is fit to each person. He teaches me to the way where I understand what I am doing, and to the point where I really enjoy drumming with him. He even has nicknames for us, and he is not just my teacher, he is my friend. I have been taking lessons with him since I was 5 1/2 years old, and he is one of the best teachers I could ever ask for.

My son has been with Joe for years and honestly, Joe brings the best out of him. Joe is not only a teacher, a cool percussion friend, and a mentor to look up to
