Hello, I'm Scott Dean. I’m a musician, educator, and student of Afro-Cuban percussion. My primary instrument is the conga drum. I also play bongó, timbales, and batá.

Currently, I play congas with Ray Vega’s Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble and with Alex Stuart’s Salsa Meets Jazz.

I offer in-person and online lessons for individuals and groups, and I teach one-on-one courses for beginner and intermediate students at the University of Vermont.
