Jazz Studies and Performance
7 yrs of drumset experience. Chicagoland based. Bachelor's Degree in Jazz Performance from UIC.
During our drumset lessons, you will learn:
-How to learn specific songs
-Proper technique
-How to read sheet music
-Grooves from multiple genres of music (rock, jazz, Latin, funk, disco, etc.)
-Improvisation
-Rudiments
-How to play in time
-Ways to approach jamming with other musicians in various settings
This is a list of fundamental skills I like to teach, but if there is something that you would like to learn on drumset that is not on this list, I would be happy to accommodate. Drumming is all about having fun, creating music, and rhythmically expressing yourself. I will let you set the tempo. All you need is a pencil and paper. Hope we get to jam soon!
