Instruments: Drums Music

Greetings, my name is Brett. I've had a passion for the intricacies of rhythm since I was a boy. As a teen, I began playing drums and progressed at a highly advanced rate. My teachers would assign one page out of a book for the weekly lessons. I'd learn the entire book that same evening. It wasn't long before I attended the FUI Studio Jazz and Performance program. I realized that I conveived of rhythm in a way that wasn't being taught in schools or universities. Read More

I first began teaching when I was in college. I had several students that would come to my home to take lessons with me.

After a couple of years teaching independently, I began working as a drum instructor for Studio Percussion of Music and Dance in Gainesville, Florida. Read More

My first teaching experiences were with my father during solo and ensemble. Having hired me as an accompanist for his students, I found myself rehearsing these students moreso than accompanying them. From that point I felt encouraged to teach and help others perfect their craft. My biggest influences would have to be my past teachers, one of which taught me younger and the other as I matured. I believe that while learning to read and write sheet music, developing technique and feel, and understanding music theory are all important, the most integral part of learning an instrument - as fundamental as it sounds - is to use your ears!

I’m a fun, energetic teacher who believes in a student center philosophy. Students have fun when they are taught what they want to learn. My job is to teach them what they want to learn and how to approach and accomplish that goal. I will always take into consideration who is learning, why are they wanting to learn, what is their objective/goal, when would they like to accomplish this goal, and how WILL they achieve it.
