Drum Lessons in Kirkwood, GA

Instruments: Piano Drums Keyboard

I have an easy going personality and like to have fun so I try to make my lessons feel the same way. I'm not overly harsh or judgmental but instead I try to make each lesson a true learning experience where there's no pressure and the student is free to make mistakes (even encouraged to take risk and make mistakes) in pursuit of their passion of music. I believe when a student feels free to be themselves with their instrument it will result in a faster learning curve and more excitement to learn. Read More

Music should be fun. Period!  Whatever the student's age or background, I will help them achieve their goals and have a great time in the process!   I have been teaching (private and institutions) and performing for over 20 years.  My extensive touring and professional performing background offers students a real-world perspective and continually keeps students motivated and inspired.  Recently I was Adjunct Professor of Percussion Studies at William Carey University where I managed private lessons for all percussion instruments and wrote and directed for the marching line.

My teaching goes all the way back to the late 80's . I began teaching the piano and drums to my little brother. I just turned 41 so it has to be about 30 years ago. I got my formal instruction in classical music in High School. That is where I developed a real passion for classical music, and opera. I went to Kentucky State University on a music scholarship. While there I was in several operas. Read More

Instruments: Drums

The most rewarding thing in my life is seeing one of my students develop a passion for music! I believe it's important that each student progresses at his or her own pace no matter what. I set realistic goals for my students at each lesson as the next lesson will be intertwined with the last. It is encouraging when students gain praise for their accomplishments. It helps fuel a students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more. Read More

My teaching approach begins by meeting the students where they are in regards to musical capability. We soon push the boundaries of what they think they are capable of and allows them to apply the music theory in real time. A consistent schedule, whether it be during our schedule lesson or a follow up email packet, is the distinctive difference in my lesson plans. This practice regimen should continue long after our scheduled lessons and should be one of many vital keys to your child's future successes. Read More
