My method varies for each student since every student will learn differently. I start by assessing where a student is at in terms of skill level and what their intentions are for learning how to play drums/percussion.

My teaching experience started the last year of attending Heidelberg University when I was required to instruct a high school student drum lessons as part of my internship.

Every lesson is going to be structured with a few fundamental topics (snare technique, sight reading, styles, grooves, and soloing). Read More
