Homework
1-2 hours per week. Learners are expected to practice the material covered during the lesson. The learners will have specific songs or pdf lessons to work on each week. How much time they dedicate to these lessons is something I discuss with the learners and their parents. As I mentioned previously, everyone has different goals and schedules so there is no right or wrong answer here.Class Experience
I like to think of my lessons as "music based". We will do some basic technique and co-ordination exercises, but I like to students to play with music as much as possible. Developing a learners ear for music is just as important as drum technique. Of course all of the lessons are written in proper music notation, so we're learning that as we go too. For intermediate and advanced learners the technical skill development does ramp up, but the direction can be guided by the learners interests. Examples of this can be:pop/rock, jazz & latin, Hi-hop, funk, etc. For percussionists: we can do beginner school band tutoring, orchestra training, even 4-mallet technique for marching band or drum corps "front ensemble" percussionists. I have successfully prepared many students for College and University auditions. Please contact me with any questions about the lessons, as I'm always interested to hear about learners unique goals and interests.
Learning Goals
I tailor the lessons to fit the needs of each learner, no two are the same!
Other Details
