It is important for me to be aware of individual learning styles, so each lesson is tailored to each student's needs. Often the goals for students depends on demands from school, so it is important to establish these based on school requirements as well as personal accomplishments the student may have.

For more complex rhythm Louie Bellssons Modern Reading is an excellent supplement. For drumset the above texts also work but the best solution is the Rhythm Concept by Kelly Wallis, a fantastic method of deconstructing rhythm.
