Over the years I have developed a method to practicing and getting the most out of your time that I believe will help you get better as a drummer, and most importantly, you will be able to apply what you learn as we go along. I feel the relationship between student and teacher should be a 50/50 mix of teaching and coaching. What I want to do with my students is take a concept, learn it, get it grooving then apply it in a musical setting within whatever genre you’re performing in.

Here’s a quick synopsis of my lesson plan:

  • Emphasis on reading and understanding note values
  • Application of  the 26 American Standard Rudiments
  • Phrasing
  • Hand technique and foot technique
  • Independence
  • Playing with a metronome

Styles

Rock, Jazz, Afro/Cuban and Funk
Students will be given homework to practice

Lesson Cost:

Adults 50.00 per lesson – 175.00 4 lessons a month
