Drums with Cristina H.

Hello! My name is Cristina and I have been playing drums since I was a child. After graduating high school, I decided to continue to pursue music and studied Percussion and Drums, first at the University of Houston, and then theUniversity of Texas at San Antonio. I specialize in drumset, and percussion instruments such as marimba, snare drum, vibraphone, etc. I also am able to teach marching band percussion and drumline instruments. Along with teaching, I am a gigging musician with great versatility and experience in many genres of music. Not only am I able to teach basic fundamentals of music such as technique, reading music, styles, etc., I can make learning to be a great musician a very enjoyable process!! *** Lesson Details *** My style of teaching is very relaxed and patient. I use real word analogies and use a student's personal interests to help make music easier to understand. I take the time to get to know my students' personalities and interests in order to accommodate their needs. My curriculum would consist of understanding drums/percussion instruments, rhythms/styles/timing, technique, music notation, and performance manners. After 3-6 months of lessons, students will know the basics of what I have listed above. I believe that if you have patience with yourself, that you can achieve any kind of goal. All it takes is a good teacher, faith in yourself, and practice! *** Travel Equipment *** I have various mallets and sticks. I can bring a small drum kit. I expect my students to provide their own mallets and sticks, along with earplugs, and a folder for all of your papers. *** Specialties *** Pop, Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Jazz, Tejano/Folk. Very Familiar with most genres.
