Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Flute, Drums

I'm a fairly new private lessons teacher finishing my Music Education/Composition Bachelor's degree. I have studied with some of the best flute and drumset players. I have performed many genres throughout my musical career. I have also played music for many different settings such as church, football, parades, celebrity shows, nonprofit organizations, rallys, and competitions. I am very excited to teach young and intermediate musicians new techniques, music theory, and methods of learning to play music effectively and joyfully. Read More

Instruments: Drums

I start every lesson with the first lesson from my book called DRUM STUFF. It's what I call Basic Beat # 1 and it is the foundation on ANY song in 4/4 timing. As the student progesses, we work on other lessons with the goal of playing songs from various publishing companies, music they may have from band or songs I have personally written out or that they may have heard on the radio.

Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Drums, Banjo, Mallet Percussion

I use the Suzuki method which is an ear training method that trains the students to play familiar songs without having to read music. I teach them to read music afterwords. Much of my teaching method revolves around improvisation and experimentation. I use these techniques to get a feel for my students and then personalize the lessons to what suits their particular needs. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Voice, Cello, Drums, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Music, Keyboard

I attribute development of my teaching method to having started as young as I did; it is my firm belief that students and teachers should learn together, and that, especially with younger students, that it should be fun, engaging, and even a little bit silly at times. I both encourage and require regular practice on a consistent schedule; practicing not only helps students further their progress, but it helps them to avoid burnout by maintaining a view of music as less of a chore and more of a fun activity.

Instruments: Piano, Drums, Synthesizer, Accordion, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Conga, Latin Percussion

My approach to teaching is tokeep students interested, lessons fun, all while growing their experience andproficiencyattheirinstrument. Positive feedback is very important and is something I do in every lesson. Constantly communicating with them on how they are feeling, stayingupdatedon their goals andaspirationsas well as letting them know what my expectations are from them, help create a positivelearningenvironment. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing a student understand a concept and express the feeling of wanting to learn more! Read More
