I believe the early years of a music beginner are the most influential time to develop healthy technique habits and a love for music.

I come in to each new lesson trying to learn what works best for each student, as well as what each student is trying to gain from the lessons.

For beginning drum set students, the program I recommend is starting with Drum Set Essentials by Peter Erskine. As skills in rudiments and basic patterns develop, I go on to materials such as Syncopation by Ted Reed (reading,coordination,technique), and Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone (technique). For piano, I go over basic theory,major and minor scales,chords and arpeggios and work in Piano For Adults by James Bastien. Read More
