Teaching has become another expression of my art;
I treat it with the same commitment and wholeheartedness as I treat my music.
The evolution of my students is important for me and I feel responsible for each one of them, giving them everything I have.
Inspired by my teachers and by thousands of hours of practice and search, I created a step by step studying method that covers everything a student needs: Technique, musical understanding, rhythmic phrasing, coordination and most importantly - spirit.
If you have a dream to play these instruments and if you are willing to put the work, reach out and lets make it happen.

The summer percussion seminar is open exclusively to Yshai Afterman percussion school students. It's a chance to meet in person after a year long of weekly lessons and dive deeper into our work. The seminar includes 4 hours of lessons every day, jams, privatte lessons, nature exploring and a lot of time to both rest and practice together.
