Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Drums

The skills I teach my students are tools that they can apply to anything they choose to do in life, and I show them that through hard work and dedication to their craft, they can achieve anything. I help my students learn by providing visual and audio examples, then demonstrating the real-world application of those examples. My students learn in a variety of ways, including muscle memory exercises, practicing playing at different tempos, and playing along with examples. Read More

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

Instruments: Drums, Conga, Djembe

I look to work with students of age or ability who are above all excited and interested in learning the instrument. Learning to play any instrument can sometimes be difficult or even frustrating, but through hard work and keeping the process fun the rewards for continuing to improve are well worth the efforts for both teacher and student. I always expect simply the best the student can do and believe strongly in the saying that the best you can do is always good enough. Read More

I have been playing drums for thirty years, and teaching drums to all ages of students for about twenty. I started playing drum set at the age of five, took regular private lessons from many teachers, took every music class available at school, and made District Honor Band seven years. I marched on my high school's snare line for four years and was Drum Captain for two. I marched snare drum for Spirit of Atlanta Drum and Bugle Corps in 2000, as well as for The University of Georgia's Redcoat Marching Band. Read More

I approach teaching like nursing a baby ,u care for the baby,u feed the baby when hungry,u cover the babies body from catching cold , you teach the baby how to eat ,u hug the baby when he or she start crying, when she wants to go put her hand in the fire u stop her and tell her in advance what she’s going to experience.when she’s 18 you start to tell her to set goals and always drive hard to achieve them ,you tell her to never give up and be distracted by boys,you’d tell to always keep learning in life because the day you stop learning you start dying.
