Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI typically say ‘show me what you got’ and let come what may. It’s a good way to gauge skill level, drive, intensity, focus, and adaptability all in one. From there, I ask questions and start developing a game plan. Depending on ability level, it can be anything from walking around the kit (à la a pilot walking around their plane prior to flight) to nailing down specific progress goals and anything in between. I have a full slate of songs from first timer to specialized songs for focused lessons.
Lesson 2-3Lesson 1 is more of a feel out and laying groundwork and here we start to build foundations and building blocks. Again, this is all skill level dependent. Building a song repertoire, identifying strengths and weaknesses, challenges in playing, short and long term goals and tailor making a suitable framework for each student. Homework will start to be assigned here.
Lesson 4-10This is where the real separation begins (no pun intended). We’ll start working on more mechanical things, perfecting the initial song assignments and making lesson changes based on progression.
Lesson 11+If you’ve reached this point, it’s clear you are driven and in it for the long haul. I usually see students wanting to fine tune pieces for school performances, kids in cover bands wanting to learn specific performance based songs, while more intermediate to advanced students want to do more advanced study on things like limb independence, jazz technique, metronome work and more.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonI do the same with advanced players as I would for beginners-I say ‘show me what you got’ and let them go on the kit. This will identify what needs work-groove, pocket, timing, etc. Asking diagnostic questions to develop a specific strategy for meeting goals and objectives.
Lesson 2-3Introducing songs or isolating passages from specific songs catering to the desires of the student. Developing a plan of action to make an advanced player’s repertoire more robust (eg-a player advanced in deep groove might want to introduce double bass playing).
Lesson 4-10Building blocks act more like step-ups here for advanced players, so it’s taking the improvements and adding polish.
Lesson 11+Solo & ensemble pieces for students in upper school levels, preparing players for studio performances, including and up to more abstract things like performance psychology, working with band members, performance nutrition, and image and marketing.
Youth players
Working with kidsHaving fun is most important. I’ve often found kids teach me more than I teach them and it’s a beautiful symbiosis. Whatever the needs and wants may be-whether it’s to join school band, not annoy their parents, play along to songs on their Spotify playlist, or start a fledgling pro career I can certainly help flesh out those wants. I encourage and welcome parental involvement (it’s very important!).
Working with teenagersTeenagers have wildly varying skill levels that change as rapidly as they do during this time period. I’m able to help dial them in and create a strong nucleus and give them direction and help them finesse and fine tune their skills.
What you need to bringYourself, sticks, hearing protection, ideas and an open mind.
What I can bringI recommend all students have (at a minimum)!sticks and hearing protection. A practice pad and headphones are also recommended. However I have all
The necessary equipment needed to produce successful lessons. This will obviously vary based on skill level/lesson plan
