DRUM LESSONS For All SKILL LevelS

My first time in front of a drumset was filled with loud bangs, belly laughs, and no rhythm. I was three years old. Even though this was decades ago for me, I remember that day like it was yesterday.

After many years of banging on drums, there came a point where I finally wanted to learn. My father taught me something that kickstarted my learning journey. For my beginner students, this simple technique that my father taught me will be my first drum lesson for you.

I played the drums all through middle school and high school. I did marching band, concert band, and drum core. I also took private lessons early in my journey. I know how to read sheet music and I know music theory.

Before graduating grade school and for many years after, I played drums, and other instruments, in multiple bands.

Now I am in a phase in my life where I want to teach. My six-year-old son is my first student who reminds me of me when I was his age. It’s so fun to watch him and I know in time he will become a seasoned drummer.

I look forward to passing on my knowledge and experience to you.

my LESSONS Are Tailored To Suit You

PERSONALIZED LEARNING

One of the advantages of private lessons is the personalized attention you receive. I can tailor lessons to your needs, goals, and learning style. Whether you are a complete beginner wanting to learn the basics or a seasoned drummer looking to refine your technique, I can provide specific guidance and feedback.

Immediate feedback

Unlike learning from online resources or books, with private lessons, I am here to point out any mistakes you are making and help you correct them immediately. This real-time feedback is invaluable for preventing bad habits from forming and ensuring you are progressing the right way.

Motivation & accountability

A dedicated teacher can be a great motivator to stay on track with your practice and reach your goals. Knowing you have someone invested in your progress and regular lessons to attend can help you stay accountable and dedicated to your drumming journey.

Developing proper technique

Learning drums safely and effectively requires proper technique. I will make sure your posture, grip, and strokes are correct, minimizing the risk of injuries and maximizing your playing potential.

Building a connection with a mentor

Beyond the technical aspects, private lessons can provide a valuable connection with a mentor who can inspire and encourage you. A passionate and experienced drum teacher can share their knowledge, stories, and insights, making the learning process even more enriching.

Tailored goals and interests

Your lessons can be customized to match your musical interests. I can introduce you to music and techniques that align with your preferences, keeping you engaged and motivated.
