Learn to develop essential reading skills, proper
technique, and playing styles such as rock, funk,
jazz, Latin, fusion, etc.
For future prospective students, I am currently
teaching at Hames Music in Gaffney, SC and my
private studio in Spartanburg, SC. I offer
thirty-minute and one hour lessons that meet
once-a-week.
With thirteen years of teaching experience, and
countless hours of studying and playing, I am
prepared to take you to the next level. No matter if
you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced
player…played in a past life and are looking to pull
the drums out of the closet, have years of playing
experience and are looking to grow your craft in new
directions, or you need to work on overlooked
reading skills or rudiments that you have evaded for
all those years. Maybe you are trying to prepare for
a school audition to play in an ensemble or prepare
for college entrance auditions. Or, maybe you want
to learn to play so you can play in your church.
What ever the reason, if
you have a passion for the drums, the desire to grow, and
are willing to practice a minimum of thirty minutes a day, I
can help point you in the right direction and guide you to
your goals…In today’s market it is essential to be versatile
and to be prepared.
I am a working musician and there will be times in which I
will have to rearrange our schedule due to gigs or studio
sessions. This is generally not a problem and it is also an
essential part of bringing the experience back to the lesson
studio to share with you. After all, there is time to study
and there is time to play, it is through playing gigs that
we learn the most and gain the most in the development as a
player. This also gives you a gauge so you know what you
need to work on in your practice time.
