The following are potential paths taken after the student indicates their goals. - How to properly hold your sticks involving the introduction of the drumsticks balance point the fulcrum. -How to set yourself up behind the drum kit including heights of different drums, and explanations of variety of cymbals. -Your first drum groove!

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFor advanced students, the initial lesson will be time split in half. The first half will be a get to know you and discussion to observe what the student wants to get out of their lesson time with me, and what direction they want to pursue with their instrument. Secondly, we will play through various styles, and also different rudiments to see where strengths and weaknesses are.

How it works

Reputation

✨Simone is new on TeachMe.To – but very experienced with drum. Satisfaction is guaranteed. If anything go sideways, we'll switch you to a different coach or give you your money back.
Lesson 11+At this stage, it is dependent on the student and their progression/what they want to get out of these lessons.
Lesson 4-10This will be an introduction lesson to transcribing drum solos, including notation skills and aural interpretation. Followed by the assignment of the students first drum solo to transcribe.
Lesson 2-3A rudimentary snare drum solo book will be given to the student, and a first snare solo will be assigned to begin working on their own through each week, following up with check ins with me. Also, a specifically curated list of grooves will be given and we will work at the students pace to learn and absorb new styles.

Youth players
Working with kidsIn my lesson studio, when working with kids I shift the tone of the lesson to more of a fun and care free environment. It is vital for students especially at a young age to be passionate about the instrument they want to play, so creating an environment where they feel encouraged and brave enough to try new things is essential!

Working with teenagersComing from experiencing burn out from my instrument myself at the age of a teenager, when teaching this age group I make sure to keep incorporating what each student is passionate about specifically. Even if it is watching a video of their favorite drummer for a few minutes, and basing the lesson off of the technique and styles used in that video. Using that style of teaching keeps the students curious to explore on their own, outside of the lesson room as well.

What you need to bringSticks and a ready to learn mindset!

What I can bringFull drumset and cymbals, including a space equipt for a high decibel level.
