• Are you a beginner without any direction? Are you unable to play what you want?
• Tired of your hands feeling unbalanced? Forearms sore? Tense while playing?
• Having trouble keeping up with fast tempos?
• Having problems reading music?
• Is your back chronically sore when sitting at the drums? 

I can help you . . .

I can teach you to overcome these issues

To create balance :)

I begin by having a phone conversation with you where we can establish a sense of our compatibility and comfort level . . .  I also teach at Beaumont Middle School.

I like working with beginners; a good teacher can help you get there faster.

Teaching you the METHOD, a uniquely simple approach, will help you concentrate on finger control, independence, speed, endurance and to perfect balance between your hands and feet, all in a relaxed manner.

Lessons are written expressly for the individual student!

You can look forward to learning a discipline and a philosophy and relaxed approach to the drums rather than styles of music and then you can take it wherever you want to go.

I also incorporate the "Moeller Method" taught to me by some very talented and dedicated drummer/percussionists. This is an approach to drumming using biomechanics and ergonomics to support smoother, injury-free playing. 

Your own body will teach you how to accomplish this. Your speed and power will increase as well. 

Having your own drums, sticks, (maybe a drum pad) and cymbals etc. is always a PLUS :) ... BUT NOT A REASON NO TO CONTACT ME!

We’ll start by working on:

• Drum pads and a metronome, to perfect your inner rhythms and relaxing techniques.
• Mirrors, so you can self-monitor your hands and body mechanics comfort level, so you can easily correct your technique. 
• By using mirrors one can create a visual approach that encourages concentration on the consistent, even sound of your sticks . . . bass drum pedal . . . and hi-hats pedal and posture.
• My home/studio is my preferred place to teach. There I have a drum set, congas, several pads, pedals and mirrors.

Whether yhou are a beginnerwho has never played before or you are still finding your way, please contact me. It can't hurt. Let's start having some fiun learning to play the drums.
