 My philosophy is to ask why, investigate what interests the student to learn music in the first place. Nine times out of ten it is a short-lived pipe dream, when the realization of consistent practice, sacrifice, and hard work equals results is reality.

Drums are about slowly increasing complexity and knowing when to introduce new concepts to the mix. What always seems to solidify knowledge and help rhythm when I have taught friends in the past is when I pick up a guitar and play along with the student as they play drums, once they've learned a part or a song.

Some pros don't even have this kind of practice! Read More
