What to expect in my Drum Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Snare drum technique is essential for every percussionist, regardless of the style of music they perform. Rudimental drumming and hand technique will be explored along with dynamics and performing at various tempos. I will tailor private lessons to the interests and needs of my students. I love to focus on personal expression and creativity as much as possible.
