Windsor, CO Drum Lessons

Having had experience in Australian Symphony Orchestras and ensembles, Peter has the passion and expertise to take you as far as you want to go

I've been a drummer and percussionist for over 20 years. I've studied African rhythms with Ghanan drummers, and have taken many years of tabla lessons at the Ali Akbar College. As a drumset player, I've studied with many of the best teachers alive, and can teach any style from jazz to hip-hop to punk and onward.

I teach acoustic and electronic drums for all levels

Drum lessons are taught one-on-one and from a beginner level to an advanced level. Ages of students start at 6-years-old and up. I have many adult students as well. It's never too late to start a new instrument.

I teach various styles of music including, jazz, fusion, funk, latin,and rock. I teach rudiments and classical drum technique utilizing various method books in order to facilitate proper technique, coordination,chart reading, and overall musicianship.

I began playing drums 15 years ago and since then have played drums in a variety of settings. I am comfortable with technique of a wide variety of genres and know how to write drum notation

I studied Afro-Cuban Percussion, Percussion and Drums at the University of Northern Colorado, the nation's 3rd largest Jazz school. I bring 17+ years of education and teaching experience to the table.

When teaching drums and percussion I try to make it as involved as possible for the student, centered around whatever their goals happen to be. I try to bring my experience as a professional musician who has studied and played in many different situations to the lessons, and always keep it fun and enjoyable.

I've been playing drums for 18 years, and have had some amazing opportunities because of it. In that time I've learned so much about a wide variety of styles and I continue to learn to this day. Not only can I teach you how to play the drums, I can help you learn to understand them as well. That includes more than just reading music and playing beats; it's exploring rhythmic techniques together, learning the fundamentals of tuning, and helping you discover your sound. Furthermore, as lessons progress, I can help you challenge yourself by performing and recording alongside other instruments as well (per request and at absolutely no extra charge).

Please remember that everyone processes things differently, and there is no right or wrong way to learn.

I have been teaching professional drum lessons since 2006 to students of all ages and skill levels. Earlier on in my music career I found a strong passion for teaching and saw how enlightening it is to share the gift of music. I want to give aspiring drummers the right tools that will allow them to accomplish their goals as an overall musician. Whether they want to cover a specific style, develop a solo or just know the basics of the instrument, I am here to provide the stepping stones for success. In lessons we can cover anything that you want to learn and most importantly we are just going to have some fun playing the drums.
