Our Teacher of the Month for September is Mr. Joe!

​

Joe has been teaching percussion at Matt's Music for 19 years. His favorite music genre is jazz. He started studying drums when he was 7 years old and he has been performing in the Buffalo area for over 60 years. When he was 15 years old, he formed a rock group called the Vibratos (soon to be inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame). "As time marched on, I have been blessed to work with many of Buffalo's talented musicians." - Mr. Joe

​

He has been teaching drums in WNY for over 60 years and started at the age of 21. Over the years he taught drums at (to name a few): Twin Village Music, Howard Evert Guitar Studio, Bob & Ray's Music, John Sedola's Music, U-Crest Music, Ed Bentley's Music, Sal Perrella's Music. "18 years ago I began teaching drums at Matt's Music, the very best music store in my humble opinion." - Mr. Joe

​

"In conclusion, I would like to say that music (both performing and teaching) is like breathing to me. It would be difficult to live without it!" - Mr. Joe

Congratulations, Mr. Joe!
