Students are able to record and learn the art of production as they learn their instrument if they so choose. This allows students to hear themselves and learn from their performance as well as share their passion with family and friends as they create music. BM in Percussion Performance University of Iowa Studied with: Dr. Dan Moore, Vern Spevak, Chic Evans, Ron Spaeth, Jim Dreier Received Music Scholarship to attend U of Iowa Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences -Received Many Certifications and Degree -Certified in Pro Tools Recording Software and others *** Lesson Details *** I encourage my students to pursue all types of music. I like to use “method books” to help with reading and music theory no matter which instrument they choose. I always use supplemental materials that follow the student’s interests and level. I often use technology in lessons to motivate and help students grow. For example, I use many apps for theory, note reading, and rhythm training. A cancellation 24hrs in advance is always appreciated.
