Drum Lessons Orange County, NC

Instruments: Drums

If my students are not enjoying the drums, then they will have no desire to better themselves at the instrument. For this reason, I strive to learn what type of music my students love and the music they want to play. Once I know the type of music my students enjoy, I can teach them the musical concepts that apply to that style or genre of music. Regardless of skill level, I believe that anyone who is determined in playing the drums can learn how to play their favorite song on the drums! Read More

Instruments: Drums

What I learned right away was that there was a whole lot more to this drumming stuff than I ever anticipated. Technique, rhythm, coordination, dexterity, and muscle development all eventually got in the way of the rock god of drumming that I envisioned myself to be.

My musical experience dates back almost 13 years. I first picked up drumsticks when I was 7 years old, and I haven't been able to put them down since! Throughout my career so far, I have performed in award winning wind ensembles both in high school, and as extra curricular ensembles, like the North Carolina Youth Wind Ensemble. I have also performed in a variety of marching ensembles. From 2018 to 2019, I marched with, and got gold medals with the Carolina Gold Drum and Bugle Corps. Read More

Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Mallet Percussion, Electric Guitar

My experience takes me straight out of high school. I have been a drum tech at West Johnston High School since Fall of 2015. Since then I've risen in the ranks and have taken a much bigger role. In between all of that, I've all taught at Wake Christian Academy as Percussion director for about a year. I've given a couple of students from that school private lessons and I've encouraged all of them to become better and more educated in the marching arts! Read More
