Do you or someone you know want to learn to play the drums?
Well, now is your chance to get private one-on-one instruction
from an experienced teacher and drum educator. No matter
your age or musical experience it is never too late to start playing
the drums!
I specialize in beginning and intermediate drum lessons. Basic
reading, notation, technique, and counting will be taught, as well
as studies of different music styles and drumming beliefs.
Students will play in a one-on-one setting where parents of school-
age students are welcome to sit in on lessons. I encourage those
closest to the student to be supportive and help them achieve their
drumming goals. Practice is a necessary part of my instruction
program and imperative for growth, so please, be prepared to practice.
As the main instructor at Old Jersey Music Lab I like to offer incentives
for school-age students who bring in solid grades on their most recent
report cards. Students who are currently enrolled in lessons will be
offered a free half-hour lesson for a B average, and a free one-hour
lesson for an A average report card.
As a former elementary school teacher, I believe instrumental
instruction can greatly increase a child's probability for success.
Studying an instrument in a private instruction setting helps develop
discipline and creative thought. It has been shown time and time
again through statistics that children who study an instrument have
greater chances for academic and personal successes and are
less likely to get involved with illegal or illicit activities.
I am also stressing school should be the number one priority
for my school age students.
