Percussion Lessons in Herndon. Amazing Teachers.

Hi!
I am an Assistant Band Director at a Middle School and an Elementary band director in Fairfax County. I'm looking to grow my percussion studio.
I teach classical percussion including mallets, snare and timpani. Teaching 4-mallets is my specialty. I have taught award winning marching bands and indoor drumlines for the last 13 years. Many of my students have made all-district band, all-state band and senior regional orchestra.
Private lessons are a great way for any student to better enjoy their experience in a school music program. Whether your student is having difficulty with their instrument, is an average player aspiring to become one of the best in the class, or is already quite accomplished and ready to reach full potential, private lessons will enhance their experience in band exponentially.

Private percussion lessons available for beginner to advanced percussion students. The curriculum includes learning to read music, developing a rhythmic vocabulary, snare drum, mallets, and bells for school concert band or marching band. Travel available for in home lessons up to 15 miles pending location, scheduling, and availability. 4 weeks or more notice is required for discontinuation of lessons.

I studied percussion under the direction of Robert Gibson durin my time in the Saugus High School band.

I teach how to read rhythms and how to groove!

I have a 100% rate of getting my students into their school of choice as of yet. Although I don't guarantee it, I will work relentlessly to make sure you are well prepared though. I will also lend you PDFs of books to help you save a buck.

I Instruct how to use timing to play and interact with other musicians. Also teach techniques that allows total relaxation and Flow when playing the drum set. Also encourage coordination of all four limbs when playing as well as singing simultaneously. Also teach how to take notes when learning songs and be able to use that when playing live with a band.
