Music Lessons in Travis Heights, TX

Instruments: Piano Organ Synthesizer Keyboard

I believe in teaching foundational skills or concepts in a way that allows students to use their individual preferred genres of music as the subject of study. I also like to use technology interactively to teach less-engaging concepts. Any form of progress is acknowledged and used as a stepping stone to the next level. Rapid changes in technology have caused a great impact in the effective delivery of teaching and training methods for learners and students of different learning styles. Read More

Instruments: Drums Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion

I start my beginning students off with learning to read music notation simply from a rudiment sheet and moving into a cd play a long book with basic drum rhythms and song structure. For intermediate to advance students, I typically start with Stick Control for the snare drummer by George Stone. For basic drum set we start with "The Rhythm Book" covering all drum set styles.
