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 for school concert 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.
- Rehearse material for upcoming school performances.
- Lessons include time on snare drum pad, drum set, and playing along with song soundtracks right from the start.
Testimonials:
"I highly recommend Jim to anyone interested in learning to play the drums. He has been an incredibly patient and thoughtful teacher to my son, who was 10 years old when he began lessons. Jim is great at meeting drummers where they are at." - B.C.
