Drum Lessons Clayton County, GA

Instruments: Piano, Drums, Keyboard

I have an easy going personality and like to have fun so I try to make my lessons feel the same way. I'm not overly harsh or judgmental but instead I try to make each lesson a true learning experience where there's no pressure and the student is free to make mistakes (even encouraged to take risk and make mistakes) in pursuit of their passion of music. I believe when a student feels free to be themselves with their instrument it will result in a faster learning curve and more excitement to learn. Read More

Then I can tailor a path that is personal to each student and keeps them excited and engaged while moving towards their individual goals. Read More

When I meet a new student, I ask them about their music tastes, as well as their perceived level of skill. This allows me to have a clearer picture as to which route to take with teaching. For students who are just starting their journey into music, I tend to bring material and resources from my own experiences and material. By starting from the basic language of music theory (scales, melody, harmony, etc) a solid foundation is formed for their curiosity to lead them to where they want to learn in music. Read More
