Drum Lessons Jefferson County, AL

Instruments: Piano, Drums, Organ, Keyboard

For children who are beginners, I start off with an introduction to basic theory. That will help me identify how fast they can catch on and also give me an idea of what ways to make lessons innovative. Also I will tie each lesson to a nursery rhyme so that it will be something they can remember. For teens and adults, I try to find out what genre of music or what is their favorite song. Read More

For any beginner musician, I find it is very important to have a general idea of the most basic level of theory. A student should know how the notes relate to each other and why. Strict rules and "know-how" are important, but music is expressive and creative. If you want to build a bridge, you should build your bridge to be the unique image you choose; however, you need to know which tools to use to get started. Read More

As a musician, there is nothing more rewarding than sharing my love and knowledge for music with others. My primary focus is to make sure the student is enjoying the lessons and learning the style of music they desire to learn. Nobody enjoys lessons where they have to play styles of music that they are not interested in, which also poses the threat of the student losing their interest in learning music. Read More

A passion for learning music is never something that can be forced. Therefore, when teaching a student, I never force them to achieve unattainable goals. I encourage them to learn at their own pace with "stepping-stone" goals; my students learn rudiments that build onto progressively more advanced techniques! I will also look at songs pertaining to their chosen instrument and their current proficiency at said instrument. I will show them section-by-section (verse, chorus, bridge, solo, etc.) "how it's done", then give them a chance to try it! Read More

I am passionate about music and I play at least 7 instruments. I love alot of international music styles as well as American styles (soft rock, rock, hard rock, progressive metal, hip hop reggae, etc.). My music degree is from Auburn University Montgomery and I have done live performances within a band, ensemble, and on my own. I have had the opportunity to play with different musicians with various styles and I have added their techniques to my teaching when it comes to my students. Read More
