Drum Lessons in Duarte, CA

Instruments: Drums

For any level I like to check to see if they have a solid enough grasp on fundamentals. For drum kit users I like to only have the kick drum, snare and hi-hat available.

I approach teaching in layers. Step one leads to step two, we cant skip steps! I find it important that for beginners we follow this structure. More advanced students will be on a case by case basis in regards to where we start. I emphasize imprivisation in every lesson weather it be on drums, piano or trombone. Playing music right off the top of your head, and in the moment is something you can't learn out of a book! Read More

    I have now been giving private lessons for around 8 years and enjoy it very much. I love to help people grow and watch them enjoy the gift they have. In my lessons, students learn techniques, concepts, musicianship, rudiments/fundamentals, and much more. I resigned from a job in 2015 to pursue my music career which includes teaching drums. I have a passion that I will always be greatful for, and I'm happy to say that the right doors are opening for me to teach in many different places. Read More

Teaching style could easily be summaried and paraphrased with my above stated pedagogy! Teaching style changes from student to teacher.

These help in my search to find the perfect style at which the student understands and enjoys the task at hand.  Read More

How my classes work, I basically listen to your questions and demands if you have some. I show and work with you on some exercises (with a click first!). Then include it in a musical context with different songs. We will always keep in mind we are here to play music and have fun! I can adapt to your needs but also drive you in case you need it. I'll also teach you a lot about methodology and the best way to improve yourself behind the instrument.. and more! Read More
