Homework
I will provide any assignments related to the work we've done in the lessons. Although it is up to the student to decide how much extra time they put in outside of lessons, the more they practice, the easier things will become. Spending as little as 15 minutes a day, a few times a week can really help the student develop their skills on the instrument.

Class Experience

In this course we will study Drums.  We will begin with (depending on experience), how to hold the drumsticks (which will be required by the student), musical dynamics, basic rudiments for practice. Later, feet control, ear training, learning how to play a song, etc. The lessons will combine material that I can provide the student as well as pieces of music that the student would like to learn. I am very flexible with my lesson plans and try to tailor the lesson to the students needs. An example of this is encouraging my students to suggest songs that they may want to learn to make it a more positive experience. Through these songs I explain the approach to rhythm and give the student a deeper understanding of the songs they are learning. I'm personally experienced in many other styles of music including , Jazz, Rock, Country, Blues, etc. I love to teach all styles.
Learning Goals
I believe music lessons should be a fun experience. I've been very lucky with my own music lessons growing up. I always looked forward to them and I want to pass on that experience to my own students. Every student learns at a different pace so the lessons are tailored to meet the student's individual needs. My main teaching objective is to engage each student, encourage their love of music, and to inspire an ongoing sense of personal achievement.
