Drum Lessons Franklin County, NC

Instruments: Drums

My teaching method begins with teaching a student to play a song on the drums. I have found that while the technical and music theory aspects of the drums are important to teach to my students, the fun side of music, such as simply playing along to a favorite song, is a vital part of learning how to play the drums. If my students are not actively enjoying the lesson along with their individual practice time, then I am not doing my job. Read More

Instruments: Drums, Bass Guitar, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

My goal isn't to teach music. My goal is to help my students grow to love music more, and teaching them music is just the means to that end. My one-on-one teaching style is very relaxed and personable. I get to know students as people, and let them get to know me. My teaching philosophy boils down to four words, which any of my marching band students could recite to you: "Get better, have fun." You need both for the experience to be meaningful. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar, Latin Percussion

I focus on the student's preferred genre and songs, and I make theory work for those particular songs; i.e. I find common chord progressions, their related scales, and have students improvise using those scales [though I emphasize chord tones, syncopation and more ... equally, not just scales]). I am the epitome of patience, and I always seek to reassess a student's goals so as to hit the target as ideally on as possible (no sense in learning the complexity of jazz when punk rock is your only love!).
