For a beginning student on voice or drums, fundamentals will be incorporated into their warm-ups each lesson and throughout the week. Each student has a reason for wanting to take lessons and incorporating that into the lessons will give the student more drive to practice.

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.

I do try to maintain a balance of classical music, modern music, and music theory. Read More
