My pricing is based on lesson at my drum/recording studio in Lake Worth, FL:

How did you get started teaching?
While in college I wanted to share my knowledge with others. My musical career has always included teaching formally or informally.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with young children age 5 to teenagers. I have also worked with adults and enjoy teaching adults very much.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
To find a teacher that will challenge the student to grow and learn but remember music lessions are fun. One of the ways I make lessons fun is by video recording my students playing real drums at my studio. This is something that most retail music stores cannot offer.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Drumming is about more than playing fast ... it's about making music and playing with others. I'd like to know if the teacher plays music with others ... like being in a band, playing at church, or touring experiences.
