Drum Lessons Nashville County, TN

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

For the beginner, we will spend the first two or three lessons working on proper grip and motion. Once that is mastered, we will use the Maroni book and use the first page of Stick Control. I would like to supplement that with a John Wooton play along book which takes the boredom out of Stick Control. Read More

I began teaching during my college career providing free lessons through a University sponsored program to underprivilaged young people in the Minneapolis/Saint Paul area. I volunteered there for 5 years and fell in love with imparting young people with a deeper understanding and appreciation of music. Starting in 2006, after learning some key ideas of pedagogy from my private instructor, I began taking on private students of my own and teaching lessons professionally. Read More
