Drum Lessons in Norwalk, CA

Instruments: Drums Synthesizer Orchestral Percussion

Private lessons with an interest in the students interest. The student has to be excited to learn the techniques to begin with. This is especially true with recording techniques using DAW's. Many students who pursue this already have an interest. Because if this the teaching and learning process is greatly amplified and learning can sometimes even go both ways. When teaching drums I approach every lesson like it is new. Read More

The most important goal to me when teaching anyone of any level is to have them leave feeling like they've actually learned something. I feel as a teacher that the students wants and needs are paramount and should be treated as such. I like to work with whatever pace they're comfortable with and do my best to accommodate them with what they may want out of drumming. I like a laid back, welcome atmosphere with absolutely no judgement in said atmosphere and always be supportive of the student making progress in their endeavors. Read More

The most important thing in my lesson is to have fun. I really care if students are having fun, and I will always find a way to bring them a great joy of playing music. Another thing that's really important is to make sure that students are learning what they truly wants to learn. In the begging of lesson, I always ask a student about what they want to learn specifically. Read More

For all students I access what your musical background is and what may be lacking from your knowledge and playing. I also ask what your particular goals and things you would like to learn are. From there then we will start to tailor the lesson as both us see fit. In general I like a student to be able to play three simple melodies before moving on to chords, rhythms, and music theory.
