Specialties
At SF Drum School, I offer instruction on drum set, marimba, snare drum, timpani and all the Classical percussion. My lessons are tailored to you or your child's specific needs. The drums are an instrument independent of style- there's a foundational technique regardless of the music you play. This technique is best exemplified by the Stone-Moeller system, a tension free way to play based on natural motions. The result? Speed, power, control and a lifetime of drumming enjoyment! Some of the things we'll cover: A loose, functional grip Freestroke Technique- the secret to relaxed control and speed Moeller Technique- the key to power and blazing speed Coordinating the limbs into a relaxed, balanced whole Developing reading skills without sacrificing relaxed playing Developing good time Learning songs from your favorite bands Balancing everything in a seamless whole whether it's a drum groove or Bach on marimba And of course, I do my best to make it all fun!
