Drum Lessons in Pleasant View, TN

Instruments: Piano Guitar Drums

I've been teaching guitar for the past four years and drums for 10. My favorite thing about teaching is when a student gets to a playing level they didn't think possible. Seeing the transformation is the most rewarding part of the job for me, because I know first hand how good it feels to improve and progress. To see that same sense of acomplishment in others makes me happy because I know the lessons and skills learned are life long and invaluable. Read More

Instruments: Voice Drums

For a beginning student on voice or drums, fundamentals will be incorporated into their warm-ups each lesson and throughout the week.

If a student discovers something while playing or doing warm-ups, we will continue down the road to see where the student's hands, voice, or brain want to take them. Read More

I have 17 years of experience playing and performing drums not limited to the drum kit. Having studied and received several forms of instruction throughout the years I was able to pick and pull from the various teaching styles and form my own. Like almost anything Practice is an essential element to learning something new so I try to incorporate fun and effective techniques that make practicing fun. My goal as an instructor is for the student to enjoy the instrument and approach it in their own way through certain techniques that may be of use. Read More
