In my lessons, you can expect a well-structured curriculum designed to make learning drums accessible and enjoyable. We'll start with the basics, gradually progressing to essential techniques, rudiments, and rhythm patterns. Through a combination of hands-on practice, interactive exercises, and supportive guidance, I create a dynamic and engaging learning environment.

For beginners, the focus will be on building a solid foundation in drumming fundamentals, including proper grip, coordination, and timing. I introduce students to a variety of musical styles, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of drumming techniques. From rock and pop to basic jazz rhythms, the goal is to instill versatility and confidence in your drumming skills.
