All Ages, All Levels

PERSONALIZED DRUM LESSONS WITH A PASSIONATE, EXPERIENCED TEACHER

What do Lessons Include?

30 MINUTE LESSONS FOR $30

Lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your skills.

We’ll cover everything from stick technique and timing to grooves, fills, and playing along with songs. I also incorporate ear training, reading rhythms, and learning how to play in a band setting.

I make sure every session is fun, focused, and packed with practical takeaways you can use right away. Lessons take place in a relaxed home studio environment, in McKennan Park District, Central Sioux Falls. If you are a parent or giving a ride for a student, I have a waiting room for you, some like to wait in their car, or take a stroll in McKennan Park, one block away.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I teach all ages! Whether you're 7 or 70, it's never too early or too late to start drumming.

  • No drum set? No problem. You can start learning with just sticks and a practice pad. I can also help guide you if you’re ready to invest in your own kit.

  • Just bring yourself, a notebook or folder, earplugs or noise-cancelling ear muffs, and drumsticks if you have them. If not, I’ve got extras here.
