Brett S., Drums Teacher, Miami Dade County
(786) 319-4542
About Me:
I approach teaching in a way that allows for self-discovery. By introducing simple concepts to a student and showing them how to concretize them, they are given the tools to unlock their own creativity. I use a combination of simple math, counting, theory, ear training and old-fashioned common-sense to introduce drumming in a way that is fun, educational and most-importantly, will prepare you for any musical situation.
