Drum Lessons Maricopa County, AZ

Instruments: Drums, Synthesizer

Growing up with siblings that played music taught me the fundamentals of cooperation and listening as I now have been teaching and learning from students since 2012 in my home studio. As a musician and teacher, your goals are my goals. When we are in a lesson I will be rigorously keeping your technique in check while we tackle the projects you want to work on plus implement my own agenda to keep you challenged and depending on your want for a challenge I can make it vary from easy breezy to insanity.

I write all my own lesson materials focusing on what the student needs to know to play, understand, and enjoy music to achieve their goals. I have used several method books in the past but find them all limited or focused on styles or technique that is not what the student wants or needs to learn.
