Homework
1 hour per week. I will assign exercises for hands and for drum set. We may also choose specific songs you work on. Eeach lesson will begin with a review of the assignments. There is no grading - the more work you put in, the better the results you will get.Class Experience
We will work on the core skills for a successful drummer: 1) Developing hands - improving grip, using drum rudiments to improve speed and accuracy 2) Drum set technique - coordination, independence 3) Musical skills - developing good timekeeping and groove 4) Music theory - we will discuss concepts such as time signatures, note values, etc. Practicing on your own is very important. I will assign exercises to work on between lessons.
Learning Goals
Grip - how to approach holding the sticks and different angles for striking the drums
Drum rudiments - rhythms that useful to practice and which form the fundamental language of drumming. This includes single strokes, double strokes, paradiddles, etc.
Coordination - lining up the notes that you are playing with your different limbs
Independence - training your limbs to play different things at the same time
Beats - learning beats is an essential part of drumming. We will explore beat variations.
Groove and timing - how to develop a strong sense of time that makes it comfortable for others to play with you
Feel - using different styles to play something that is appropriate for the music
Reading - time signatures and note values
Dynamics - developing the ability to play at a wide range of volumes
Other Details

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bill has been passionate about music since an early age. Growing up in Maine, he competed at the state level in high school jazz band, then went on to study classical music at the University in Hartford in Connecticut.
After relocating to the Bay Area, Bill studied with local legend Wally Schnalle, the driving force behind the fusion power trio I3. Bill continues to hone his craft studying under George Breiter, a working drummer based in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
He is an active member of the Bay Area music scene, playing with groups such as God Analog, an industrial pop group, and Intica, an electronic pop outfit built around a singer-songwriter.
Bill takes pride in helping young drummers to express themselves by developing the right skills for whatever genres they want to play. This involves working on the fundamentals of drumming such as hand technique, drum set technique and timekeeping, in a way that is rigorous, but also fun!
