Drum Set
Lessons
Drum set lessons are available for beginning through advanced
students. Lessons are intended to be fun yet very educational.
Each lesson is a one on one private session that is tailored to
the student's own interests and ability level. Lessons cover
various music styles including jazz, rock, funk, country, hip-hop
and Latin music. Strong fundamental musical skills will be
developed through the use of written music, audio listening, CD
play-along, and student recordings. Standard drumming skills such
as rudiments, hand and foot technique, styles, coordination,
reading and improvisation will also be developed. Brian's
studio has become the model for all others in the area to
follow.

to play simultaneously, mirroring the teacher's every

recordings, play along to recordings and hear a play-back of
their own playing.
3. The wall adjacent to the student drum set is mirrored to
allow the student to see their exact movements.
