Drum Lessons Dane County, WI

Instruments: Drums, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Conga, Latin Percussion, Djembe

I try to keep lessons fun even though there's aspects that might be boring. So, I will switch from snare drum to drum set. Learning how to combine rudiments with drum set music such as jazz and rock is very beneficial. When my students are having trouble with a certain area, I do well with taking out that area and making a drill out of it. One of my specialties is that I will play the bass with students for various styles so they can have a hands on experience of the relationship of a rhythm section, phrasing, and timing. Read More

Throughout high school I was a teachers assistant to my band and choir directors and frequently led sectionals, class activities or solo lessons. This early teaching experience is what led me to the path of getting my degree and license in music education. Throughout college I had a handful of consistent voice/instrumental students I taught.

For young and beginning students, I focus intently on proper technique (holding of sticks, timing, 4-way coordination, etc.) to ensure a proper foundation for success. For older and experienced students, I look to work on a wide range of styles to help the student understand the nuances of performance techniques and promote an understanding of how interconnected various performance styles are. This ensures the student is capable of performance with a wide variety of bands and can adapt to other musicians. Read More
