One on One Percussion/Drum Lessons

Kendall Rhymer

Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(82)

Join me for weekly percussion lessons where we will work on technique, repertoire, rhythmic accuracy, and performance confidence!

Class Experience

I will meet students wherever they are on their percussion journey. We will cover technique, rhythmic accuracy, reading rhythms, dynamics, performing in a group, and more. Students can choose to work on music they are learning in band class, marching band, or any other repertoire, however this is not required. If students do not have music to work on, we will dive into music I will provide. Students may choose areas they want to focus on, such as sight reading, warm ups, speed, dynamics,...

Learning goals will be decided between myself and the student as I learn what their strengths and weaknesses are and they tell me what their goals are for lessons.

Homework Offered
I will send a message with information about what students ought to practice between lessons at the end of each session. 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered

0Snare drum students should have a pair of sticks (a drum pad/snare drum would also be amazing, but is not required)
