Genres and Subjects Taught
Snare Drum Rudiments
Drum Set, including percussion instruments, like wood block, cow bell, chimes, shakers, cymbals
Participation in rhythm sections
All musical styles can be taught, to prepare for any setting.
The program is a 4-week cycle:
3 weeks of lessons work through snare drum rudiments during half;
and use of the whole drum set during half
The fourth week is special, by including a bass player, keyboard/pianist, and or guitarist to participate in a rhythm section, with instruction still focusing on the drummer.
Lesson Rates
As the program is a 4-week cycle, the rate covers 4 weeks of instruction and includes the fees for the extra musicians needed in the 4th week:
Private lessons:
45 minutes= $200/4 weeks
60 minutes=$250/4 weeks
Semi-Private=$125/4 weeks
(60 minutes shared with another drum student. If you have a family member or friend joining at the same time, then sign up for a slot; if you want this possibility but don't have a drum-mate yet, you can be put on a wait-list.)
