Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Drums

In the first session, I like to make a couple of questions to my students so I get to know them a little bit more. With their answers, I get a glimpse of his/her personality and get to know my students. If the student is new to the instrument, then we go through the basics and we start from there. If the student already plays the instrument, then I ask for a demonstration so I can make an evaluation. Read More

I have been teaching on and off for the past 3-5 years. Every student I have had has been a awesome and rewarding experience.

The lesson is always aimed at having the most fun as possible, all while learning and expanding our musical knowledge. Read More
