Drum Lessons in Elgin, TX

Instruments: Drums

For beginning students typically start with Drum Set For Kids by Hal Leonard. In this book after playing lessons each one has a song to play along to with a recording. This makes learning this book fun for studemts. I also like to focus on hand technique and all of the basics for playing Drums. I do include teaching drum rudiments for they are very important to have. For a Drummer they are our dictionary that help puts phrases together. Read More

Hello! Jeff here, I've been playing music since the age of 8 when I learned the drums. I taught myself guitar at the age of 13, and at the age of 23 I moved to Austin to become a professional musician. I joined a raucous bluegrass band called Whiskey Shivers, and have since played thousands of shows, locally, in 40+ states, as well as Spain, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and all of the UK.

We then work on some new material (rudiments, rhythmic patterns, time signatures, etc.) and we finish off doing some fun stuff like learning new grooves or playing your favorite songs. I will always be stressing out throughout lessons the right way to practice. The keys to get as much as you can from each lesson are these: COMMIT to your goals. PRACTICE as much as you can. ALWAYS HAVE FUN while playing. Read More

I first like to get to know my student's goal whether it's just to learn to play, improve their skills, or become a professional. For a beginner I introduce the instrument, and instruct them in the basic techniques to start playing music the first day! I will then give them the instructional tools so they can feel comfortable putting their ideas into practice. I am very open to the student's musical desires, but I have found that instructional books are a great way to improve one's skills. Read More
