Drum Lessons Orange County, NC

Instruments: Trombone, Drums, Euphonium, French Horn, Tuba, Mallet Percussion, Orchestral Percussion, Music

  I believe that every student has the ability to learn music regardless of talent or background. During the first lesson I use specific techniques to understand student learning styles and levels of musicianship. From there, my lessons are specifically geared to meet the student at their current level. Your child will have lessons that will show growth, confidence, and fun.  My teaching career began in college. I taught trombone lessons and was an instructor for the Hampton University Band Camp.

My mother always loved to remind me how, when I was just two years old, I used to grab the Tupperware out of the cabinet and a couple of wooden spoons and pretend I was playing drumsevery day. I still dont know where my love for the drums came from, but that passion has been with me my entire life. At the ripe young age of 9, I finally got my first drum kit and started taking lessons.

Every student is different, with different goals, different passions, and different backgrounds. So every student needs a different teaching method. I prefer to spend some time in the first lesson getting to know the student and his or her background to determine what specific methods work best for them. I like to put concepts into a musical application as soon as we can. Once the student has a grasp of the basic 4/4 pattern, I have them loop it while I accompany them on bass or guitar. Read More
