Thanks for checkin' out the "Drum Lessons"
page. I've been a professional drummer and drum teacher in the Chicago area for many years.
I teach private drum lessons to students of all ages at my home in Northbrook, and still play in many different kinds of bands
for lots of different occasions... weddings, Bar-Mitzvahs, parties, and nightclubs. I grew up in Wilmette, Illinois and graduated
from New Trier West High School in 1973. I studied percussion at Southern
Illinois University and at the Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. MUSIC LESSONS
SHOULD BE FUN!!! If music lessons aren't fun, then what's the use?! Kids have too much going on to be involved in an
activity that they don't enjoy. So I make sure lessons are fun as we learn. My lessons are a combination of learning drumming
technique and learning to read music, but also listening and playing to recordings and trying to figure out what the drummer
is doing and why... what's the drummer's job in the band? I encourage my students to bring in their iPods or CDs with music
that they like to listen to. I try to cater lessons to each student's individual needs... whether they are playing in school
bands, rock bands, or are adults just wanting to have some fun!
I'd be glad to provide references if you'd like.
Give me a call if you're interested or just want more information.
