Introduction

Hello I’ve been teaching full-time since 2003 with over 500 students ages 7-70! During my 15 year stay at a national music store, I had one of the highest student retention rates in the entire US. That means on average, most students who start taking drum lessons with me don’t stop! I think the reason is I utilize a curriculum with levels starting at beginner, intermediate, and then advanced. Students are able to measure their progress and can see the bigger picture, which then motivates them to keep moving up that ladder! The goal is always to keep lessons light, fun, but let’s get something done!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My pricing is typical at $35 per 30 minute lesson. However, I will happily do a first lesson Free of charge so we can all decide if I and the student are the right fit.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I always ask #1 is why are you here? What is the motivation to actually sign up for drum lessons? Was it a band, a certain style of music and drumming style, or maybe a friend or relative who plays drums? Or maybe a 6th grader wants to start percussion in school? How this question is answered dictates the direction and flow of the lessons which vary slightly student to student!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I graduated from Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA. I also play about 150 shows a year in a variety of bands here in DFW and all over the US

What types of customers have you worked with?

All ages from 7-70 but mostly parents and their kids in the 8-13 range.
