Piano Lessons Pennsylvania

Instruments: Piano, Drums

I also use Ted Reed's book, Progressive Steps to Syncopation for the Modern Drummer as a supplement, as well as write additional exercises, rudiments, and warmups in a blank staff paper book that I typically have everyone get.  The drum set method I use greatly depends on the student's ability level. For beginners I use my own method, The Beginner's Handbook for Drum Set. For advanced students i use a variety of books that are more specialized such as Advanced Funk Studies by Rick Latham or The Art of Bop Drumming by John Riley.  For mallets I like the Garwood Whaley books which go from beginning to advanced as well as the Leigh Howard Stevens book Method of Movement for Marimba.

I use a variety of methods for my teaching style. I usually have a few method books that I bring to a first lesson, and after meeting the student I will decide on the best one. Once the student has progressed and shows some motivation to be slightly challenged, I'll introduce "popular" music so that the student feels a sense of accomplishment! Music is associated with movies, radio, etc., so to be able to play something recognizable is exciting for the student and the teacher. Read More
