Professional-level instruction for the serious musician
Check out the video below to learn some things about my educational style and philosophy. Scroll down for more information.
Private Lessons Overview
I offer private instruction out of my studio in the Chicago area. Lessons are typically either 60 or 90 minutes in length. 60-minute lessons are spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, and offer great consistency for the intermediate student. 90-minute lessons 2 to 3 weeks apart and are most optimal for advanced students.
Each lesson is recorded on a high-quality Zoom audio/video recorder so that the student can recall and reinforce the instruction they received.
Pricing:
60-minute lesson: $90
90-minute lesson: $125
Virtual Video Lessons (Zoom, Skype)
If you live outside of the Chicago area and are interested in studying, I offer virtual lessons. Contact me to schedule one.
Here’s what you’ll need:
-Zoom or Skype account
-High-speed internet connection
-Account for online payment: PayPal, Venmo or Zelle (sorry, I don’t have a Chase account and am not able to use Quick Pay)
-Computer or device with front-facing camera
-Camera should be aimed at full drum kit, and having a practice pad helps, placed on snare or on a stand
-Headphones or Airpods highly recommended
