Are you Interested in Lessons?
If you are interested in taking private lessons from me, I am currently giving lessons on most Sundays for $20 for half an hour lesson or 30$ for an hour lesson. Current rates for other percussion instructors range anywhere from $15-45 each half an hour lesson; however, most other instructors only specialize in one area of percussion. I am able to give lessons on any rudimental instrument, any concert instrument except timpani because I do not own a set, beginning drumset, and marimba performance. I am currently teaching Elementary, Junior High, and High School students as I am willing to teach students of any age as long as they are willing to practice. Sign up for lessons by filling out the form located on this page and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
