Drum Lessons Boone County, IN

Instruments: Drums

Inspiring students and setting realistic goals are what lead to quick development. I tailor the way I instruct my students on the wants and needs of the student. If they want to be better at a certain riff or fill, I am not going to force them to learn something else. My goal is to offer the best quality of service by giving the student the most enjoyable and developmental sessions. Read More

Recognizing accomplishments and setting goals fuels a students desire to progress and grow, I believe it also provides the students with a determination to learn more. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my senior year of high school 10 years ago.  My mother is a teacher, and got me my first job tutoring math for one of her teacher's assistants.  During the first couple of years, I had a number of math and music students and learned the benefit of tailoring my teaching methods to the individual rather than using a one size fits all teaching approach.  I try to listen to the student's interests and skills so that I can develop a practice routine that is both fun and beneficial for them specifically.  I also have found that the best teachers that I have had, exposed me to music that I would have never discovered on my own.  I believe that students should both enjoy their lessons and their practice.  I also firmly encourage them to perform and create their own original projects so that they are really experiencing and benefiting from their newly learned strengths.
