Drum Lessons in Arvada, CO

Instruments: Drums

I love drumming, and love teaching it! I teach from my own written material inspired by my music experience at school and the lessons I've been taught over the years. I have written hundreds of pages of exercises from which to pull for virtually every difficulty and style. I have played literally thousands of original and cover songs with many bands. I can play and teach the drum parts to virtually any song simply by hearing it, and I've heard more music than the average musician. Read More

Instruments: Drums Recorder Mallet Percussion Orchestral Percussion

For beginners I ask what are their favorite songs and go from there. If they do not know then I usually play a popular song. I hope to get the beginner attuned with playing along and the importance of timing. With my guidance the student builds their own beginner book through our lessons. I give all students activities to work on during the week that I expect for them to show me at the next lesson. Read More
