Music Lessons in Kearny, AZ. It's your time.

I have developed a natural teaching method that focuses on learning and understanding the building blocks of drum set playing, familiarizing and connecting these building blocks, and applying them to individual expression. I have the ability to take nearly anyone without prior drum set or rhythmic experience, and, within days, turn them into beat playing drummers! My approach focuses on:
-building an understanding and relationship with each drum
-the basic rudimentary foundation of drumming
-how to approach the drums, hold the sticks, set up the drums, and tune the drums
-basic mechanical techniques
-development of each limb
-learning how to read basic drum charts and play to them
-learning and playing the most significant beats and patterns in the history of drum set
-gaining the ability to effectively teach oneself how to improve as a drummer
-learning your favorite songs on drums
-how to play in a band

Training in the basics of modern popular songwriting including form, harmony, melody, and lyric writing.

I have a background in fundamental rhythm, rather than teaching the student to simply play, I teach them to read and write their own rhythms and drum beats in a fun and hands-on manner using methods that music teachers around the country use in their classrooms. Furthermore, I have years of experience teaching children as young as 4 years old from their very first lesson. I’ve developed my own method for children to read drum music using simple and an easy to understand rhythmic language.

I have 10+ years of international teaching experience - spanning from Europe, to America to the Far East - and I greatly enjoy putting my experience to service in order to bring students to love their instrument and help them envision how to make music a part of their human experience, either if taken professionally or just for fun! I am very easy going, flexible to adjust to each student's needs and requests, and resourceful in terms of pedagogic techniques to make each and every lesson a step forward!

I was trained on flute while studying jazz saxophone in college. Most of my applied experience with flute is performing solos. I will show you how to be a soloist whether you want to learn how to improvise or compete in solo competitions.

My name is Patrick Glynn, I’ve been playing piano 23 years and 10 years touring across the country and the globe.  I will teach you what you need to begin your musical journey! I specialize in beginner and intermediate players of any age.

We'll discuss your goals so I can tailor the lesson to your personal needs.  For everyone's safety, your lessons will be over zoom until the end of the pandemic.  The benefits to this is that I am able to record the whole lesson that I will send to you afterwards so you can review a specific part of the lesson if needed.  I’ll supply all the sheet music and worksheets required via email so you can print it out or view it on your phone or tablet.  Depending on what we work on I can recommend a book if you prefer having a hard copy.
