Instruments:
Practice, of course, is important to learning any skill. But if a love of the instrument is there, practicing shouldn't be too much of a chore. I try to never give my students too much material at once, so as to frustrate them to the point of not wanting to play anymore. On the other hand, it is important to present them with challenges to keep them moving forward. First and foremost is to foster that love of music in them through enthusiasm and example. I encourage my students, especially drummers, to seek out opportunities to play with other musicians, although I don't require it. I do find, however, that one of the best ways to grow as a musician is to play with other musicians and to play in front of audiences, even if it is just a few of one's closest friends or family members.
Instruments:
To offer my students a safe environment to learn and to experiment, to make mistakes, and to achieve goals is very important to me. I love watching students grow in their confidence, and by feeling safe they will indeed grow in confidence. I am a caring, smiling professional whose primary focus is the benefit of his students. Students will find that materials are taught based on the time they need to learn it.
Instruments:
I do tend to give homework and have my students play rudimentary exercises at some point in most lessons, but I usually like to have more of a relaxed environment. Learning how to read sheet music is helpful in a musical career, but more important than that is learning how to improvise and feel comfortable in any groove, rhythm, or style of music.
Instruments:
My favorate way to start a teacher student relationship is to have the student just sit on the drums and let loose for me. This gives me a good idea of where to start with the student and to see what he/shes preferences are. I like to focus strongly on technique, fundimentals, and music theory. My overall goal is to build the students skills and confidence to be able to sit in and jam in any kind of situation

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
