Experienced tutor in Drum in Dobbs Ferry, Ed offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Ed is great at teaching our son Rudy not just technical drumming but playing with feeling.

The classes are tailored and structured to ensure steady progress and learning. Ed Bettinelli is an expert instructor who develops personalized learning plans based on abilities and goals. He is a master musician able to both inspire and teach his students.

Ed is not only the best instructor - smart, patient, professional and kind - but he’s a world class musician in his own right. He focuses on technique, foundations, music theory and history for every genre, creating a well-rounded session. Also, his studio is well-equipped with the most up-to-date tools - and the dual drum sets on a real stage are amazing. Ed is also frequently available outside of the studio to answer questions or help with at-home practice. My son is not always patient for one-on-one instruction, but this is his FAVORITE class, and his practice has shown huge improvement week to week.

Eddie is the consummate teacher. He’s a master drummer and we’re so lucky to have him here in Dobbs Ferry. My son has been taking lessons from him for almost two years now. We kept it up virtually when COVID happened and it’s been a blessing. He’s caring, communicative, supportive, and gives a gentle push to do better, which we appreciate.

Ed is an inspiration to my 8 year old son! He is extremely patient and relates to my son as if he was an equal. I'm impressed with how much my son has learned in such a short time. Ed is the best!

Eddie is a gifted teacher. He has the Midas touch who deeply cares about his students. Our son started with him when he was 6 and Eddie has successfully retained his interest in drumming. We are very grateful to have Eddie in our lives!
