Personalized Lessons
In Your Home
Thank you so much for your interest in
drum lessons!
As a teacher, my goal is to find what stimulates a student's excitement for playing the drums. By doing that, I'm able to design different weekly lesson plans that will motivate and drive a student to want to practice and excel on the instrument. I strive to find ways to mold and customize my methods to individually suit each student and their different goals/interests. I want my students to come away from lessons feeling like they are making music rather than being given home work.
