Charleston Drum Lessons

For students in Middle School or High School Percussion, I offer lessons that focus on:

• Rudiments, cadences, metronome training, sight reading, and scales
• Music that the student is working on in school can be reviewed during our lesson time
• Lessons will also discuss: music notation, time signatures, and key signatures
• The student must have drumsticks, a drum pad, a xylophone or bells for practice outside of lessons

For students looking to learn the Drum Set, I offer lessons that focus on:

• Drum beats, runs, fills, dynamics, internal tempo, time signatures, and speed
• Lesson plans and practice music will be tailored to your interests.
• For students preparing for auditions, lessons can be dedicated to practicing that material.
• The student must have an acoustic or electric drum set for practice outside of lessons.

Drum Lessons can be taught at my home studio in North Charleston (near Fox Music), or I can travel to you.

Lesson Rates: $45 per half hour and $65 per hour
Travel Fee for House Calls: $10 per household
Drum-Set Tuning: $45
