Drum Lessons Mountain

Instruments: Flute, Drums

I began teaching private lessons two years ago. I have taught about ten students in my life, and only taught them what they were specifically passionate about. I believe practicing is important, but I do not believe assigning homework is an effective way to make music fun for a student. Music is pointless without the will to learn and the desire to practice. Students will progress only as far they want to take their talents. Read More

My first priority is to make sure the student has fun. This keeps my second priority in check, which is to teach the student as much as I can in the short amount of time we have. There is so much I love about drumming that I want to share, and the focused, eager, and attentive students receive the full benefit of my teaching style. However, many students are more relaxed, so I adjust my pace accordingly. Read More

I'm actually very flexible with the methods or books for all of the instruments I teach. Generally, for the band instruments, the director picks the method book. Most of the modern ones are pretty good to get students started, so I'm fine sticking to the director's method of choice and gleaning all the musical gems we can from it. Similarly with piano, there are several great method books out there, and you can learn a lot about piano from any of them. Read More

Seeing my students perform a recital and learn other concepts on drums was a rewarding experience for me. It was the greatest gift of all sort of speak. My style includes but not limited to teaching from method books then moving to songs or a combination of both. I try to tailor my lessons to what the student wants to achieve and learn, such as a particular style. I also like my students to learn how to read and learn song structure and learning the various aspects of reading sheet music. Read More
