Drum Lessons Saint Bernard County, LA

Instruments: Drums

I begin with a basic rock approach to drumming that prepares students to enter a wide range of other musical styles.

Unlike other instruments which focus on melodic creation, drums are rhythmic in nature which can make the learning process dull without music. Read More

I have had extensive lessons on all ends of the music education spectrum.
