Instruments: Drums
I began teaching private lessons full time recently and have my own home studio for in-person and online Skype lessons. I always felt my passion was to become a teacher and I also have self-published my own drum rudiment book called "Learning Rudiments". I am a serious student of the drums as I regularly take online lessons, watch practice videos, and listen to drum teaching podcasts to pick up the latest advice. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice Music
I have worked with beginner students, looking to learn more about their voice and what it can do. I have worked with students that are at the height of the professional singing career and I have helped them refine and nuance their audition package. I have helped singers work on their own musical compositions for an upcoming indie/pop/and/or RB album release. My job is to help you reach your goals, and I'm so excited to listen to your voice grow!" Read More
Instruments: Voice Saxophone Flute Recorder Tuba
In beginning students, it's always important to start out working with a methods book; they're a great starting and reference point. Additionally, we'll need a second book of excerpts and exercises for consistency. The specific book that we'll work out of depends on what sorts of music you like: classical, jazz, pop, music theatre, and so on. Even from the onset, you should make the kinds of music, style, and sounds you like the most. Read More
Instruments: Piano Keyboard
For beginning students who are children, I typically start with Essentials Element Piano Theory. I like to separate practical and theory in different sessions so that they are familiar and comfortable with reading the notes while playing. I would also start with some fun and interesting melodies to get the kids engaged. When it comes to learning theories, I would use fun and creative symbols that associates symbols in music to get the student to remember them better. Read More
Instruments: Piano Trombone Keyboard
Nothing is more rewarding than seeing real life results from my students. Setting concrete goals is very important for me and my students, weather that be to get into all-state or to be able to play a scale at a certain bpm. First and foremost, I hope to cultivate passion in my students. I believe that when a student is passionate they can learn to teach themselves and my job is to provide that student with as many different tools as possible. Read More
Instruments: Saxophone
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my love of music. I'm about to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Saxophone Performance from the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Performing all kinds of music has been one of the greater experiences of my life as a musician. I'd love to share my talent with others! I see my talents a gift that should be shared as much as possible. Read More
Instruments: Drums Music
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had many teachers who inspired me over the years.
I started taking lessons in school in the 4th grade and started private lessons in the 5th grade.
My first private drum teacher had a huge impact on me. He was a cool guy and I looked up him. He was knowledgeable and extremely patient. His ability to teach kept me engaged and excited. I was learning something new during every lesson.
I'll never forget him.
In my late teens, I studied with the late, great Charles (Charlie) Perry, renowned big band drummer and the author of many seminal, instructional drum books. I was in awe of him. He was a straight shooter and provided honest criticism and guidance that has lasted a lifetime.
When will I start to see results?
I make sure we see progress every day. From Day 1, students progress because they are learning something new every time we meet. Playing an instrument is just like learning another language. You start out learning to read and write letters, then they move on to words, then to sentences, then to paragraphs. Similarly, learning to play music progresses using the same formula.
But it takes a dedicated student to practice what is being taught. The more time a student dedicates to learning and practicing their instrument, the quicker they will see results.
This means practicing everyday. Taking private lessons at least once a week with an instructor is also a key ingredient. Be sure to schedule "make up" lessons if one is missed. It's important to keep the momentum going. Students must be committed to their musicianship and to their instrument.
But realize that nothing happens overnight. It takes patience, perseverance, and dedication to see results. The key ingredient is to work with a private instructor who can teach them correctly. The rest will come naturally.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
There are many things to consider.
Is your child musically inclined?
Is your child always tapping their feet and hands while listening to music?
Can you, as a parent/guardian, sense they have a feel for music or is it just nervous energy?
Do they dream or talk about about playing an instrument, in particular playing the drums and being a drummer?
Do they idolize a particular band or drummer?
Is your child interested in Band or Orchestra in school?
Are they currently taking lessons in school?
Speak to your child. Ask them if they're ready?
Ask yourself, as their parent or guardian, if you're ready to support a drummer in the household. Noise is a factor and that needs to be considered.
Does your child have a disability? Physical or emotional? Sometimes a disabled child can use drums as part of their therapy. Children with emotional and behavioral conditions can be tempered with drum lessons. Check with their primary doctor, specialist, or caregiver to see if taking up the drums make sense.
Lastly, never force anything on a child unless it's obvious they have a proclivity towards something. This goes for the drums, as well.
