Joshua Gilgoff
has been playing and
studying drums for over 10 years.
His musical journey has brought him from The New School of Jazz and
Contemporary Music in New York City all the way to Ghana, West Africa. He
has played professionally on cruise ships, in amusement parks and done
extensive gigging around New York City, Philadelphia and Montreal. From his
diverse experiences he developed a completely novel technique in drumming that
both adults and children find visually and musically stimulating. Joshua is also a full-time elementary school music teacher in Harlem
