Experience Teaching: During '07 and '08 I taught drums and guitar to young students at the Ray and Joan Kroc center here in San Diego. Guitar classes were attended by 3 to 5 students at a time with varying degrees of talent. The challenge was to bring beginning students up to speed while keeping intermediate students interested and moving forward within an hour class. I taught private and group lessons on drums. 1 hour group lessons (with varying degrees of talent and interest) were made up of 7 to 10 students. I kept these students improving by using recordings of popular songs as well as call and response type drumming. Half hour private drum classes were a breeze. Some newer students could hardly reach the kick drum pedal but were taught the how-to's by mirroring me on a second set of drums. Other intermediate drummers were taught favorite songs or rhythms within their range. This was done with recordings and by mirroring me on that second set. All lessons were taught with a spirit of fun and patience.
