Lewis Center, OH Drum Lessons

Drum Set: Jazz, Blues, Rock, Pop, Country Western and World Music.

I will develop and strengthen your rhythm and snare technique.

I've been teaching drums and percussion for 10 years and my students have gone on to be accepted into top ensembles, record and produce tracks of their own, and have performance careers. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to play basic rhythms on the drum set, and start recognizing different stylistic patterns. You'll also develop a strong sense of time. As time goes on you'll be able to play along to any song just by listening, and even create your own drum groove to new music! I specialize in rock, pop, and funk styles, typically use Joel Rothman's drum books as well as my own PDFs. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

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.

Acoustic and Electric Drums set lessons are available for all ages and styles including Rock, Country, Jazz, and blues.

Experienced Music teacher of 8 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of their instrument and theory skills. I specialize in all styles. Typically, I use a variety of method books to pick from to meet the needs of the students. I also have many tools available to use during lessons.
My students have gone on to NYSSMA and on to college auditions successfully!

My teaching style is very flexible & hands on. My goal is to make beautiful music and I do this by taking technical exercises and giving them musical meaning. This means I focus on the ideas of time, vocabulary & dynamic playings, but within this still teaching essential technical exercises in order to create a well-rounded musician.

After each lesson I will email detailed notes, as well as any supplemental documents and/or music.

I'm a licensed k12 music teacher and professional musician who knows how to transform beginners into competent musicians. My lessons are fun, methodical, and tailored to each student so you're always learning in a way that works best for you.

After going through the basics I focus our lessons on music that the student wants to play. I use a variety of materials that I've created myself in addition to the usual method books and I've made all of my materials work just as well online as they do in person.
