Teaching Approach

  • Jim encourages students to share the music that inspires them to set goals and guide the curriculum. 
  • Establish fundamentals on the snare drum band or orchestra performances focused on classical music. 
  • Establish fundamentals on drum set for school jazz bands, rock bands, or for simply playing for your own enjoyment. 
  • Lessons include time on snare drum pad, drum set, and playing along with song soundtracks right from the start. 
  • Rehearse material for upcoming school performances.
