Drum Lessons Jessamine County, KY

Instruments: Guitar, Drums, Bass Guitar, Orchestral Percussion, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar

I began teaching drums and percussion around my senior year of high school (1999). For guitar/bass guitar, I began teaching sometime in 2009. I feel very fortunate regarding my teaching experiences. In the beginning and still today, I tend to spark a musical interest in people through performance -- and just as often -- conversation. Those I've had the fortune to work with have varied widely in age and experience. The majority of my experience has been with young adults, teens, and pre-teens. Read More

My method of teaching is very detailed instruction. There are many books that tend to start with the assumption that you know something about music or that music is easy to just "pick up."

Setting up realistic goals for them and then helping them achieve them is pertinent to the process. Read More

I taylor my methods to the student. I will push the basics very hard. Then I will guide you in the direction you want to go. I also firmly believe that once it is apparent that there's nothing else I can teach you, I will recommend you study from a more advanced instructor. For example, if you come to me wanting to be a country drummer, I will still insist you get yourself a pair of sticks and a practice pad so I can make sure your basics are strong. Read More

My experience dates back to my middle School. 20 Years ago I began to teach private lessons. I had develop great skills in my students and motivate them combine classical with commercial music. If there is some one who wishes to compose, I encourage them. My responsibility and respect for motivate them is always a long way for their progress. For me, is very important learn for doing. To play the instrument that you love and the music too. Read More
