These are just a few of the many questions that you may have asked yourself. Why not take a few moments to find out just what you can do to enhance your playing. When you call, I will ask you a few questions to see if my study methods can help you achieve your goals. You will only be investing a short period of time in what may be the next step towards what you are searching for. I take a limited number of students for private instruction. My approach is simple and that is to “make learning fun”. As an example, each lesson can include your playing with real music, not just reading written drum parts.

Private Lesson Study
I am taking a limited number of private students. I teach young and old alike. My program is unique and fun. You are actually playing with great musicians as you learn all the things to be an accomplished drummer. Your goal is to record your own CD with you on drums. I also post your work here for your friends and relatives to enjoy and download if they so choose. All lessons are conducted in my home based recording studio near NASA.
