Drum Lessons West

Instruments: Guitar, Voice, Drums, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

Patient, judgement free, creative and adaptive. It takes time to adjust your body to a new instrument, and there will be freedom in the way you learn, and play. We will take creative approaches, and I will adapt to the style you want to take on as far as genre's and interest. For some of my more advanced students I might want to begin teaching songwriting approaches, song structure, and transitions as well. Read More

Instruments: Drums

For beginning students who are children, I typically like to start with a "call and response/listen and play" approach that involves me playing short rhythmic ideas and having the student play them back. It keeps the student engaged and having fun and leaves them wanting to play the instrument. I strongly believe in recreational lessons for the young beginning student! I then do more "by the book" instruction as the student matures and becomes more interested in the inner workings of drumming and music. Read More

I believe in getting the student interested in the concepts and styles themselves, i like to introduce them to different ways of playing and my main method is to show them how it can be exciting to play/learn. For eg, for someone who loves games, I would show them how to play chords and melody ( on a piano ) at the same time by using the Minecraft theme song as an example, or any game that they might know and enjoy so it gets them interested to want to play and learn, through that i will show them dfferent techniques and concepts, this way they are already enjoying what they are learning and at no point will not want to practice it on their own.
