Drum Lessons in Stephenson. Amazing Teachers.

I have over thirty years of experience teaching students of all ages and abilities. My youngest student is seven and my oldest student is seventy six. I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music and have years of experience playing with jazz, rock, funk and country groups as well as playing shows for touring acts. My versatility allows me to teach many styles. Whether it's teaching a beginning student how to play rock, helping a teenage student prepare for marching band or jazz band or showing a retiree how to play to their favorite song, I always enjoy help my students learn and improve.

One on one private instruction, Online instruction

Learning drums is extremely fun and satisfying! It involves the entire body and the mind, challenging in many different ways and extremely rewarding.

While it can be demanding to learn an instrument, it can be as easy as you want it to be. Our lessons can be designed to fit your personal goal. In the lessons we will play songs, study technique and reading and learn different genres of music - all while having fun!

I have been teaching for over 10 years, with experience in all levels (Beginner to Advanced) and in every age group. I am very passionate about teaching music, I believe it has the power to change lives, and also helps with just putting a smile on your face :)

I'm a professional drummer, and studied jazz drums with the legendary Billy Hart at Oberlin Conservatory of Music. I have experience playing jazz, Latin, pop/rock, African, and contemporary Christian music at a professional level.

Though advanced jazz drumming is my specialty, I love teaching drum lessons to students of all skill levels, and welcome beginner and intermediate students as well as advanced ones.

Lessons with me will be catered to your individual needs. I also have a jazz-drums-specific curriculum that we can through together if that is your area of interest.

Rhythm is one of the essential elements of music. A background in drumming can help you to better understand any instrument.

Hi, I'm Hayden and I'm so excited for the opportunity to guide you on the next step of your drumming journey!

I am currently a Percussion Performance Major and Jazz Studies Minor at the University of Georgia. I've been playing for more than ten years now, and I've been teaching for six, whether that be through a private capacity, or with high school drum lines, group sessions, etc. Teaching is a huge passion of mine!

My teaching philosophy is one that addresses students as musical individuals, and combines the student’s goals with proven methodologies designed to build strong, refined technique, and great sound production on all instruments. Ideally, I am looking for students with a little experience under their belt, but I am always willing to take a beginner that has a desire to work hard and practice!

I offer instruction in most areas of percussion, students can choose to study a selection, or all of the following:

Snare Drum
Drum Set
Mallets Percussion (2 and/or 4)
Timpani
