When I approach teaching drums, I start by assessing the student's current level of knowledge and ability. This helps me understand what they are comfortable with and where they need more guidance. I also ask about their goals and what they hope to achieve through their drumming journey. This allows me to tailor my lessons to their specific needs and interests. Next, I break down the basic elements of drumming, such as proper grip and posture, and make sure the student is comfortable and confident with these fundamental techniques. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Electric Guitar, Classical Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
My goal in the first few lessons is to make progress toward a song that the student can play for friends, family, and even the public. I want to encourage students to play out at open mikes, and to find their own performance personality in the process. I eventually work toward more technical subjects on the instrument for the purpose of expanding a student's creativity. Hopefully, through exploring new musical territories and breaking creative boundaries, the student can begin to write their own music and improvise confidently and daringly. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Double Bass, Music, Keyboard
I tailor the program to the student's needs. A student seeking a traditional eduction would be presented with method materials such as Simandl, as well as Hal Leonard's Essential Elements. Pop, jazz and other genres of music could be explored, depending on the goals of the student. As a jazz musician, I find that learning multiple styles opens up whole worlds of expression and concept. I have studied with classical players as well, and have worked through method books and excerpts. Read More
Instruments: Piano, Guitar, Voice, Bass Guitar, Ukulele, Double Bass, Music, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar
My lesson plans are devised around each student's individual goals. Do you have a favorite musician that you want to sound like? Is there an ensemble that you are dying to play in? Through a combination of effective methods and specific structuring to your needs, I can help you achieve those goals! For double bass, I find F. Simandl's "New Method for the Double Bass" and "30 Etudes for the String Bass" to be extremely useful. Read More
