Bio
I am an experienced drummer actively gigging throughout Wellington, playing with various bands and specializing in many different styles. In addition to frequent Wellington gigs, I have also completed a few tours around the North Island. My 3 years of teaching experience involves a range of ages from 5 – 35, and I’m comfortable to teach all ages!
Having recently completed my degree in Jazz Performance, I am excited to share my knowledge with anyone who’s willing to hear it!
Teaching Info
In your lessons I will cater to your needs. It is your musical journey, and my goal is to guide you through to be the best musician you can be while prioritising the fun and rewarding parts of learning music.
I can offer a range of different resources and exercises to cover the fundamentals of the instrument. However, with the way I teach, I will always prioritise the music. Any techniques, rudiments, exercises, and games will always have musical application. So, alongside these exercises we will learn songs, beats, and fills where these can be applied.
Here are some of skills I can help you with…
- Beats
- Fills
- Sticking patterns/Rudiments
- Time keeping
- Reading skills
- Stylistic nuances (Differences between Funk, Jazz, Rock, Etc.)
- Brushes and Mallets
- Musicality and Creativity
- Band playing
- Drum Soloing
I am available for in-person lessons at my family house, or I can come to your house for a small extra travel fee, I also do online lessons!
