Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Piano, Drums

As a licensed teacher with experience teaching pretty much every age (1st grade-adult) and skill level of students, across a wide variety of subjects (English lit.-music theory), I have developed a music program that gets students learning fast -- and enjoying it!

Not only am I an accomplished musician, I am also a talented teacher. My hunger for effective teaching began as I often interacted with excellent musicians who were lacking only in their ability to teach their craft.

In 2015-2016 I worked at Archimedean Middle Conservatory in Miami, FL teaching 6-8th grade general music. All students learned drum rudiments and call and response techniques. I also ran an after-school drum program where students learned more complex rudiments, rhythms, and how to play as a group. From 2013-2015 I taught at Keys Gate School where I ran a similar after-school drum program. From 2004 to now I have taught private drum lessons. Read More
