Overview:

Scott has been an educator and performer for more than 40 years. He is also a composer with 2 acclaimed CD's to his credit. He has performed in Concert, TV Orchestra, Theatre, Festivals and Jazz clubs throughout the USA and Japan. As an educator he has taught young and old in both private and in group settings. He has taught rhythm, song and dance to children as young as 3 years old. He's taught group and private drum instruction, Rhythm seminars, Elementary music and Music therapy for the aged.

EXPERIENCE
I have taught drum instruction and Jazz ensemble at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music for 20 years. In addition I developed and implemented elementary music programs for K-5 thru 4th grade for schools in the NY vicinity. Upon moving to the Milwaukee area I have taught private and group instruction for the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, Elementary Music K-5 thru 8th grade at St. Josaphat's school, Music Therapy and intergenerational activities at the Lutheran Home, private studio and now Musika.
METHODS USED

Every student is unique. I have taught beginners up to working professionals. Some students request a certain plan of study and I can easily adapt to their needs. As I have mentioned earlier I have played in almost every kind of musical setting. Stylistically it does not matter what a student may want to focus on. I can help guide my students to reach their goals. For beginning students, I try to establish a good foundation in reading, technique and musical application. I generally use books, recordings, videos, personal handouts and personal demonstration as well as piano accompaniment at my home studio.

LESSON STYLE
A beginner private lesson will usually begin with wrist and finger exercises that establish technical foundation for exploring other rudiments. Secondly, teaching music notation. The four basic ways to divide the pulse and how they are notated. Third, 3 way co-ordination. Use of one foot and hands together. (Usually beginning and intermediate rock beats) Lastly, Application of all of the above to a musical situation. For intermediate and advanced students fundamental technique is still and will always be a part of how to better control and co-ordinate hands and feet. But the student may musically want to focus on a particular genre. Here we will set up a plan to reach the goals of performing a particular song that the student chooses. Explore how to develop rudiments melodically, study musical structure and forms and learn to improvise within them.

Hard to make an accurate review after just a couple lessons. Seems well prepared and versed in his instrument. Good social skills with young children. Allowed me to come in after coming in late for a lesson. Looking forward to future lessons with him.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
