MUSIC LESSONS

Private Music Teacher / Professional Musician / Band rehearsal Studio:
I have spent my entire life performing, writing, recording, and teaching music...and traveled around the world for over 20 years as a touring professional musician and vocalist.
I teach drums, bass, guitar, trombone, and music theory.
I write and publish my own method books for my lessons. It’s not that we necessarily follow them verbatim, but it gives us a path and reference material.
The main objectives are:
1. Basic knowledge and good habits (physically, and study wise).
2. Learn songs, scales, chords, techniques.
3. Follow each individuals dream, goal, inspiration.
The best compliment that parents give me is how much their kids are enjoying their lessons, and how much progress they are making.
No matter how many times I hear that, it makes my day every time !!!
DRUM SET:
Follow my 3 level drum method (called Drumology) to achieve your dream of being a great drummer. We start from the very beginning, and go through a very methodical, fun, and practical approach.
You’ll learn reading, technique, learning songs, and drum solos !!!!
GUITAR (acoustic & electric):
From the very first lesson the focus is on “how much pressure do you actually need to play this note” (answer: not as much as you thought).
It’s all about good, relaxed technique.
From there we learn songs, chords, scales, solos, and again we follow the desire of each individual.
With my method you never “play ‘till your fingers bleed”, quite the opposite. In our case “easy does it” is the key to success !!
BASS:
My bass method focuses on relaxed technique, groove, and locking in with the drummer. We cover basic notes, then move on to scales, arpeggios, common “walking bass lines”, slap & pop styles, and of course playing lots of different songs.
