No matter what your level of skill I will give you exercises to improve your stick control and coordination behind the drum set. Learn crucial techniques that make the difference between an amateur and a professional. We will study songs and analyze the differences between different styles of music.

I fell in love with the drum set when I was 11 years old and never looked back. I have always enjoyed playing a variety of styles and therefore I am comfortable teaching in multiple styles. Some of my favorites to play are funk, rock, reggae, Latin styles, and hip-hop. I can also provide students with a firm foundation in reading music and rudimental drumming technique.

The things students would expect from me in a lesson would be the concept of keeping time with a metronome. Playing grooves that the student enjoys to hear. Using rudiments which would build creativity in the students playing. Exercises that building the strength of the student's wrist . The basic concepts of reading sheet music . And mainly to have fun playing over songs the student loves listening to.

-Using Rudiments

Currently Jr year of Music Education Major at Fort Lewis college. Been playing drums and trumpet since 1984 in school and played in Hollywood, CA with known bands such as D.R.I. Krukus and Bang Tango. Have completed teaching courses of percussion and brass studies. Conducting experience with choral choir.

I have more than 6 years of experience teaching private and group drum lessons. I have prepared my students for auditions, rock band concerts, recording their own music, and their school symphonic, jazz, and marching bands. I have come up with many small innovations in my teaching experience, like special grid sheets that make it really easy to learn to read notation in a visual-spatial way. I like to incorporate beatboxing and drum machines as tools to make drum practice fun and easy.

Drum kit lessons. Rudiment and snare for school band or marching band. I have a full drum kit to play on.

Josh combines his music and percussion study under Dr. Marja Kerney at Stetson University with his Master's from UCF under Dr. Thad Anderson, Jeffrey Moore, and Kirk Gay. Josh has been playing drumset in particular since he was young. Holding various positions including the Space Coast Symphony Jazz Orchestra as well as subbing for Disney Springs gigs. Josh focuses on allowing his students to focus on particular goals and giving them all of the basic tools they need to get there. From then on the student will be entrenched in advanced theoretical, rhythmic, and melodic approach to drumming that allows them to achieve that "professional" sound.

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.
