I've found that combining textbook music instruction along with learning to play some of the music the student is listening to keeps them growing and engaged.

I received my Bachelor's in Music Education from West Texas AM University in 2015 and my Masters in Percussion Performance from Texas Tech University in 2017.

For adult beginners, I typically will try and use the Essential Elements book to start with but not for very long. Read More
