Review About Me
Hello! I teach guitar and drums FOR BEGINNERS ONLY. Most of what I know I learned on my own, and I'd like to teach you how I did it. I want to get you playing as quickly as possible, so I won't bore you with reading music or drum charts. Instead, we will play from the heart and use our ears! I'll teach you a little theory (keys, chords, chord families) if we're playing guitar, and if we're on the drums I'll teach you about rhythm, keeping time, common rock/pop beats, and stick work. I'll show you the ropes as I learned them myself, and you'll have fun doing it! Let's play!

What to expect in my Drum Lessons
Beginner -
Welcome to the world of drums. Here's what you can expect from my lessons. In the beginning we will work on holding the sticks and getting comfortable hitting the different drums and cymbals in the kit. Then we will move on to learning how to play a basic beat using the high-hat/ride cymbal, snare, and kick drum. After that, we will practice many different variations of the basic beat, which will improve your coordination. Following that, we will work on playing isolated fills and then incorporate them into the main beat. Following that, we'll get into playing drums to popular songs. And finally, we will work on some rudiments like singles, doubles, flams, ruffs, paradiddles, and drum rolls. This will all take many lessons and lots of practice, but if you work hard you can look forward to bangin' the skins with the best of them!
Formal Education:
I took drum lessons for about three years when I was in high school. I took piano lessons for a year at age 10.
Private Education:
I have played drums off and on for 45 years. I have played guitar off and on for 39 years. I took drum lessons for about 3 years when I was in high school. I've had no formal training on guitar. I would rate myself at the intermediate level on both drums and guitar.
Performing Experience:
I played drums and sang in a rock band from 1984 to 1987 and 1990 to 1992. I played guitar and sang in a different rock band from 2000 to 2004. And I sing a mean karaoke.
Experience Teaching:
I taught an after-school guitar club for two years at the school where I taught math. I haven't taught drums, but that won't be a problem if I'm teaching beginners.
