The most important thing for you to do as a new, young and aspiring musician is to practice. Practice is extremely important to learning percussion. The most important thing to be consistant as well. Please take a moment at the end of each week and fill out this quick form to help you understand the importance of consistency and to also connect with me about your pratice habits. Also, please feel free to download my "How To Practice" guide to help you in your practice.
What to bring to in Person Lessons:
Sticks/Mallets
Books/Songs
Pencil
Good Attitude
Questions
You do NOT need to bring a drum or bell kit. These instruments will be provided. If you have a practice pad that you like to use, you may bring that. Otherwise, everything will be provided except for what is mentioned above.
If you have an instrument that you would like me to look over/repair, I would be happy to look them over. If it needs service, I can offer a repair service as well. However, based on the work that is needed, I reserve the right to charge an appropriate fee as needed.
What you will need for Zoom lessons:
Smartphone, tablet or computer with a camera
“ZOOM Cloud Meetings” App. It is free to download in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You can create a user ID or just use it as a guest. I will send you the Meeting Room ID separately.
Internet connection (This app does work over cell signal but I fear the connection would struggle to keep up, and may run your data rates high.)
Access to your instruments (drum pad, snare, drum set, marimba, piano, etc) in a quiet environment. Essentially, we will have a virtual lesson in your practice space.
Lastly, in order to help me stay connected to you (both parents and students), please fill out contact form so that I can keep you in the loop as to anything going with the studio.
