Instruments: Drums Orchestral Percussion Latin Percussion

I teach using a set of core principals which allows my students to gain control and understanding of the fundamentals of drumming, and more importantly, music. I work with my students to create short and long term goals, and I construct specific lessons based on these goals. I regularly learn songs that my students love, and use these songs to teach core concepts and create exercises that are specific to the students interests. Read More

My first expirence teaching started back in high school with working indivisually and in group sessions with the drumline. I worked with all sections of the battery (quads, quints, bass drum, snare) on perfecting technique, levels between sections, theory, ect.  After High School, and part way through college, I started giving indivisual lessons on the drum set studying a vast variety of genres and techniques Read More

Not only do I teach students how to play or create music, but also how to successfully set goals and achieve them. Every musician should have a goal in mind when practicing. Learning how to manage that goal can be tricky. I like to work together with students to take their goals and break them down smaller into more manageable pieces for them to master. This means that every student's schedule is customized to their learning. Read More

Hello! My name is Amanda, and I am 28! I am a multi instrumentalist: I play drums, percussion, guitar, and piano. But, for teaching my love is for drum set and percussion! I have played for over 17 years now and taught for 3! I play in multiple gigging bands ranging from blues to rock and R&B. I went to school for music/ percussion and I love sharing my knowledge. It makes it so when I teach I am able to both show the technical side with rudiments and also the more fun side of playing along with your favorite songs! Read More

My classroom experience includes a public middle school band class along with thirteen years with a private Christian school. Throughout the last fifteen years I have also taught in home lessons, video lessons and lessons from my private studio. Read More

I adapt my teaching style to the unique needs of each individual student. If a student needs to go at a particular pace in order to truly master a concept, I will never rush them through it in order to meet any deadline. I want to make sure each student has an extremely solid foundation in their fundamental technique so that they can expand their capabilities. I emphasize listening abilities in addition to sheet music reading because I believe a good musician needs to have both skills. Read More

The approach I use to advance student learning is fun and laid back - yet direct and studious. I believe in the power of mentoring students and adults. Every student is different and has their own way of learning and growing, even as we get older. There is always room for improvement. At your first lesson we can talk about what makes sense in terms of practice week to week and will continue to see what it takes as time goes on. Read More
