I start my students from the fundementals of playing the instrument, building up hand technique, exercises , introduction to reading notation , using the whole set using both feet, rhythm studies with examples of recorded music, playing along with the student, time keeping with the aid of a metronome, suggestions on study, practice and listening material.I have tons of patience with my students, I like to give homework from lesson to lesson and keep a track of their progress.I have a playing room in my house with 2 sets of drums and all percussion instruments.
