Drum Lessons in Florissant, CO

Instruments: Drums

I have been a Musician most of my life, and I especially love finding new music and sharing it with everyone, friends family and strangers as well! I have been playing/studying music for 45 years, and found my instrument of choice (drums) at age 12. I attended Five Towns College as a Music Major for two years. I have taught private lessons and group lessons since i was a teen, even taught a while in the Marines! Read More

I put a large emphasis both on sight-reading and learning to play by ear; I believe these are the most important two skills any musician can have, whether he be an amateur, professional, or somewhere in between (yes, there's an in-between!). I like to focus on whatever a student has coming up for an audition or a solo & ensemble festival. If I can help players have a great experience soloing in public or help them win an audition to play with a great band (and I have a very good track record with my students winning auditions), they'll be more motivated.
