Drum Lessons Mercer County, NJ

Instruments: Drums

As stated above I believe that everyone learns at a different pace and through different pathways. I enjoy exploring different ways of thinking in regards to the instrument and music.

Also, one should learn reaning note levels as tab has taken over the industry and while much easier, there always come a time when you may be required to read notes. Read More

I've found that after the preliminary work of getting a base skill set and familiarity with the instrument, technically proficiency, etc, it helps to let the student guide me in how i aid them on their journey and find where their passion is, in the great world of music. The most rewarding thing that can happen as a teacher is to see a student develop their own musicality and achieve their personal goals. Read More
