About Donnie B.
5.0
(3)
Greetings, Donnie here for all things drums, percussion, and music theory!
Throughout the past twelve years, I have been fortunate enough to hone in and utilize such teaching methods as Dalcroze, Kodály, and Orff, among employing some of my own.
I take pride in the unyielding commitment I have to a rigorous curriculum that promotes critical thinking and creativity.
My approach towards teaching is wheeled by the philosophy of "one-size-does-not-fit-all".
Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to furthering your journey towards becoming better as both a musician and an individual!

Having one of the best instructor to come to your house is not easy to find, we're lucky to have Donnie Bell as drum instructor for our son.

My son had been taking lessons with Donnie Bell for a year now and we could not be happier with his progress. Donnie gas very innovative approaches to teaching and is extremely patient and adaptive when needed. My son looks forward to his weekly lessons and enjoys practicing his rudiments and sets. Mr. Donnie has managed not only to teach my son how to play the drums, but to appreciate music and develop an ear for rhythm.
