Instruments: Guitar Drums Keyboard Acoustic Guitar

My teaching experience dates back to my high school days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 9 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument.

Instruments: Drums

Hearing someone practicing the drums can be down right annoying, especially for your household and neighbors.

I have books to recommend like "Syncopation" by Ted Reed and "Realist Rock" by Carmine Appice. Read More
