I am willing to teach only drumset but

you would greatly benefit from

learning from books since they take

you on an easy to learn, step by step

course, helping you to build your

skills and technique.

A breakdown of the lessons as far as price and format:

The lessons are $25.00 for 1 hour or $15.00 for 30 minutes, paid 1 month in advance.

Lessons are only done (at this time) at my home in Belleview.

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.

We will begin with a very easy to understand book...

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.

I 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!
