I understand that every student learns differently, which is why every lesson is tailored to fit each students' unique style of learning. I pride myself on giving fun and entertaining lessons, while teaching students everything that they need to know to become a successful musician at any level.
Beginner through Advanced lessons are available for Snare Drum, Drum Set, Marching, and Concert Percussion. Beginner and Intermediate lessons are also available for Mallet Percussion and Hand Percussion.
I recommend a minimum of four weeks for any new musician / instrument.
It takes four weeks of routine to know if someone will be comfortable with any new endeavor. Week one, a student must get the feel of a new instrument, studio, and teacher. Week two, we see how we've adjusted to a week on the new instrument, and clean up any issues that arise. We expand our material into week three, to see what level of progress we can expect for ourselves, and begin to set long-term goals. Once in our fourth lesson, a student will be comfortable enough in their new routine to know for sure if this is right for them.
In my experience, 90% of students who make it to week five continue for over a year, and 75% over two years. Many of them also continue to play their instrument long after lessons with their first teacher.
Private Lessons
Available Monday - Thursday
All private lessons are given on-site, in-person, and are one-on-one, and are designed around each students unique style of learning, interests, and musical goals. Beginner through advanced lessons are available for snare drum, drumset, marching drumline & concert percussion. Beginner through intermediate lessons are available for Mallet and Hand Percussion.
$25 / student / half hour
Semi-Private Lessons
Available Monday - Thursday
Although most students flourish the best with one-on-one lessons, semi-private lessons can be a great starting point for 2 students starting at the same level. Siblings that want to try out an instrument, or a few students working together on a specific piece of music could benefit from coming at the same time. Please contact me for more information.
