Shantram H., Drums Teacher, Chicago
(773) 360-0204
About Me:
I have a very strong interest in pursuing a music mentoring/teaching career. I obtained experience working with elementary, middle, high school, adults, and under privilege children. Furthermore, I have initiated activities outside of the traditional classroom to aide learning. I have a diverse background with much to offer.
My first classroom teaching experience was at the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Baton Rouge. I worked for the Boys and Girls Club for three years. In addition, I worked for several summer camp enrichment programs for Mount Carmel BC and Southern University (Project SU-PASS). I also served as a peer-counselor and music-arts coordinator at the aforementioned summer programs. Furthermore, I have taught private piano lessons and group piano at the Tourgee Debose Music Prepatory School in Baton Rouge, LA.
In addition, I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from Southern University-Baton Rouge, LA. I am also a two time winner of the Tourgee Debose International Piano Competition.
Thank you for your consideration.

Differing music styles implement the components of a drum kit in different manners. For example, in most forms of rock music, the bass drum and snare drum are the primary instruments used to create a drum beat.
