Drum Lessons in Midvale, UT

Instruments: Drums

I believe that my principal role as a teacher is to inspire. If I fail to inspire the student, none of the concepts or exercises I teach will bear any fruit. And so I ensure that our lessons consist of lots of musical moments with instruction, feedback, follow up, and accountability built into the lesson time at moments when it will be motivating and not intimidating. I treat the lesson time as if it was a piece of music. Read More

I have been studying drums for well over 17 years! I love playing, learning, and teaching drums. It's all I ever think about. I began studying Jazz drumming throughout high school, and have performed, toured, and recorded with many bands since. I have become locally acclaimed with my affiliation for local Utah music festivals such as Desert Rocks Music Festival, Powellpalooza, Uncle Uncanny's Summer Sessions, and Psych Lake City. In 2012 I toured heavily all over North America and Europe including Turkey and Greece with a Psychedellic rock band called Radio Moscow. Read More

My teaching style is rooted in the philosophy that if you keep explanations simple then understanding is easy. Playing drums is not easy but it is not complicated either. I find that it is important to work on making a sound from the instrument as soon as possible, thats why often times the first drumset lesson will include learning a beat on the drumset. Anyone has the potential to be able to play, and anyone can reap the benefits from practicing a new skill. Read More
