Instruments: Drums, Conga, Djembe

I have taught in a more serious and rigid way before which does work for some students, but i think like anything in life, being able to enjoy the process week by week makes learning progress and a consistent and more rapid pace. There are many different possible ways to learn the drums and the other key to my approach is remembering and honoring the fact that everyone is unique and my job is to discover how you learn best and to continually look at what your goals are.
