Music Lessons in Farmington, UT

Instruments: Drums Bass Guitar

For any lesson I prefer to have two drum kits, side by side, so that my student can see exactly what I'm doing (posture, form, etc). Though this is not the case most of the time, one kit is always fine. For beginning students I often start with snare drum technique, and depending on what the student knows already, basic kit beats. Intermediate students, fills and timing. Advanced students, advanced beats, fills, etc. Read More

My favorite thing in the world is seeing someone I teach fall in love with music. Because of this I find it most important that my students feel comfortable and not rushed or pushed to hard, I believe music comes best when studied at the students own pace. If there is something you want to learn or a goal you create then I will help you get there, if theres something that doesnt make sense and you want to recap it then thats what well do. Read More

There, I enjoyed giving private lessons to about 25 students who ranged from the ages of 5 to 50 years old. Read More

For more complex rhythm Louie Bellssons Modern Reading is an excellent supplement. For drumset the above texts also work but the best solution is the Rhythm Concept by Kelly Wallis, a fantastic method of deconstructing rhythm. There are many traditional style texts along with a host of audioplay along style texts that I am comfortable teaching from. Together with the students input we can find a workbook that best suits their needs. Read More
