Jeff has been teaching drum lessons at his home studio or in students homes to folks from 6-60 for the past 15 years. Jeff is especially adept at working with kids, who tend to require more patience and creativity to learn a musical instrument. This probably stems from Jeff being a father of three young kids himself so he definitely understands patience! Focusing on the basic techniques of drumming; grip, reading, coordination and playing solid time have been the anchor of his teaching. Jeff also trys to get his students to understand musical drumming and how to support the song in any given genre; Rock, Jazz Country and a myriad of hybrid styles that all modern drummers must be able to play. This is accomplished through a combination of various method books, DVD's, CD's and visual demonstration. If you are interested in taking drum lessons, please contact Jeff for availability. Lessons at Jeff's home studio are $195 per month for a one hour lesson each week. Lessons at your home are $390 per month for a one hour lesson each week. * Thirty minute lessons are offered as well. Payments can be made with a credit card through Paypal or with check/ cash.
* Students tend to advance at a much faster rate when the session lasts one hour as opposed to thirty minutes. A wealth of information is passed verbally from teacher to student and cannot be taught out of a method book. Also, the elements of trust and report are built up much faster in one hour lessons through conversation by the student and teacher. Thirty minute lessons simply don't allow for this.
