Drum Teacher Syracuse, NY:
I have been teaching drums both full time and part time since my college years (1991-1993). I try my best to keep drummers drumming. It is tragic to see a musician give up. I want my students to continue to grow without getting bored. I try to give them the most extensive music vocabulary they can have. I design lessons that are relevant to the student's style and tastes in music.

Details:

*I charge $15 per half hour lesson and $30 per hour lesson.
*I will travel to your home (within Onondaga county - Further destinations are negotiable)
*I focus on: reading, technique, coordination, timing (click track), music theory
*Styles: concert/orchestral snare, rudimentary snare, drum corps, Pop, Rock, Latin, Blues, Jazz, Reggae, Hard Rock, Metal, Funk, Dance, Industrial and more

If you are serious about drumming and you live in the Syracuse area please contact me at: kevinjamesdean@hotmail.com or 315-849-4920.
