When it comes to drumset, I also use a combination of my own lessons and instructional books. For example, I use the famous "Syncopation" book for students when they are ready to learn snare drum and bass drum together. I can also transcribe songs for drumset and I program midi files of music for students when they are having trouble with a particular part of a song or a specific rhythmic pattern or concept.

My teaching philosophy focuses on building students' independent study habits, so that they can become self-sufficient learners. Read More
