Yes... except for drummers.

I would highly recommend bringing a pen/pencil and notebook, but not required.  Some materials are instrument dependent, which will be discussed when signing up.

How flexible will the scheduling of each session be?
We can work out a schedule that works for us both.  You can set up a session for once per week or get them all done within a few days.

How do I arrange my five sessions?
After signing up you can schedule all five or at your first session we can set up the other four.

Guitar Lessons

When it comes to guitar I try to evaluate the interests of each individual student.  I have a broad approach to teaching guitar, with a personal background in rock, jazz, and blues styles.  I also try to include music theory as I believe it is integral to developing an understanding to music and proper musicianship.

Once a basic understand of any instrument is reach you may then branch off to a specific style or genre.  Always keep in mind the value of incorporating bits and pieces from other musical styles .
Drum Lessons

Drums are the rhythmic backbone to any band/group.  Drum have the ability to make people dance.  The nature of any drum or percussive instrument is to cut through the other instruments and punch out a solid groove.

I work on three points when it comes to teaching drums:  drum sticking and rudiments, steady timing utilizing a variety of drum beats and styles, and musicianship (how to play with others, dynamic control, etc.).
Bass Lessons
I love bass.  It's the instrument I have the most practical experience playing live.  I play both Upright Bass and Electric Bass Guitar, but my forte is the Bass Guitar.

The bass player shares the feel/groove with the drummer.  The bass is part of the rhythm section and requires a strong send of time.  I work with bass players at understanding how to fill out a chord progression while maintaining a solid sense of time/rhythmic integrity.  There is a music and TAB reading component, as with any instrument I teach.
