The lessons are $20.00 for 1 hour.

Lessons are only done (at this time) at my home in Summerfield (by Belleview) and that is because not everyone has a drumset at home to play on.

Most of the people I teach have never read or have read very little drum music. I start everyone who wants to read music, at the basic level, and build a foundation from there.

This was my first book and it will give each student a thorough working knowledge of drum notes and applications. (I do not supply the books. Syncopation can be purchased at music stores such as Sound Exchange in Ocala for around $7.00)

We will learn how to read all different note types, quarters, eights, sixteenths, etc.

We will go over rudiments and application of rudiments such as tripelets, flams, rolls etc.

Eventually over time, you will be able to write your own music!

After the students have grown in skill and technique, I will also cover different types of music, such as the rock, jazz and latin styles using bongos, cowbells, brushes, and woodblocks and I will show you how to use them in music.

We will cover drumset techniques and I will have songs without any drums in them so that students will have to "find the beat" and play along with it as their weekly lesson.

If you already know how to play the dums a little but want to learn some new techniques or want to improve what you already know, please contact me!
