Years of Experience: 20+ Location Options: In Studio, In Home, In Webcam Travel Radius: 70 Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Country, Acoustic, Christian Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Drum Lessons,Song Writing Lessons,Record Engineer Produce Overview: Hello, my name is Andy. I was born and raised by professional musicians. Music has run deep in my family for many generations. I seen at an early age that talent, the naturalsense of timing, and dedication are intertwined (you must learn to take these three anduse them simultaneously). You can not have one or even two of the three working in yourfavor and leave one out and expect the desired result; music. However: The good news isthe one un-natural element in that equation, dedication, can strengthen the other two. Andwith dedication coupled with practice, practice, practice, you can become an "In thePocket" player capable of taking the stage fearlessly with anyone at any time. I began playing "with" musical instruments at such an early age I have to be told I wasalways trying to get my hands on the things I seen the others making this magical soundwith. But after being in School Band playing brass instruments I seen my true calling wasthe time keeper, the backbone, the most difficult job in a band; the drums. I learned by roteand feel that's the only true way to learn to play a trap set. You can get technical withsheet music and learn to get by on some percussion instruments, but if your goal is to playin a band with a kit then in my opinion you're better served learning the old fashion way, byearning it. I have played professionally since I was 20 years of age. I have well over 3,000 on stage,paid gig experience. I worked three nights a week for many years. I love all genres ofmusic, my favorite being Rock and Roll(I cut my teeth on Lynyrd Skynyrd). I've playedevery genre to various degrees and found that certain fundamentals in percussion help totranslate in success no matter if you're playing a soft version of "Amazing Grace" orhammering out a rock and roll classic. These fundamentals also are key when onedecides to work on original material. Whether you're a seasoned drummer looking for those extra little tricks and tips thatseem to elude you, or a green horn newbie, I can help you if your desire is to become abetter drummer. Performing Experience: 20+ years working, making a living playing the skins. Over 3,000 paying stage performances with various bands. Including: The Rolling RiverBand, Southern Knights, the Jubal Early band, Bluehound, Cross Plains, plus many projectsand pick-up gigs. 80+ hours in the studio recording, producing, engineering. Experience Teaching: I've "taught" all along during my career. It's hard not to teach if you live music and wanteveryone to share the experience. So I have always tried to take the time, if practicable, toshow even the most rudimentary of techniques if someone desires to make music orhave understanding.

Years of Experience: 52 years of playing exper Location Options: In Studio Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Classical, Country, Acoustic, Christian, Pop, Folk Age Groups: Children, Young Adult, Adult Instruments Taught: Guitar Lessons,Bass Guitar Lessons,Orchestral Lessons Overview: Hello! I’m Hal. I’ve been teaching guitar, bass, ukulele, saxophone and flute for over twenty eight years! I love helping people achieve their musical goals. When I was a kid, I used to lay awake at night, listening to my Dad and his best friend, Stanley, playing guitars and singing every old country song they knew. I’d think, “Man, I wish I could do that!” So, I’d pull out my old guitar, and all my Dad’s old music books, and plunk my way through them. Eventually, I learned to play a few chords, but never got too far with it. When I got to the ninth grade, something happened that changed my life! I would sometimes take my guitar to school, plunking my chords, trying to impress Fonda, the girl who sat beside me in Science class. One day she turned to me and asked, “Um, like, can YOU play ‘House of the Rising Sun'? Cuz Kyle can play it.” I couldn’t, so she was impressed with Kyle instead. So... I went home and practiced that song for weeks, until I could play it just like they did on the radio. Then I took my guitar to school and said, “Hey Fonda, listen to THIS! I played that song perfectly! I was so proud of myself! She just shrugged her shoulders and said, “Well, it’s OK, I guess. Um, like, can YOU play ‘Smoke on the Water'? Cuz Kyle can play it……” Grrrrrrr ! ! ! ! ! ! Needless to say, I didn’t impress Fonda, but I DID impress someone much more important – ME ! ! ! I realized that I could make MUSIC ! I kept working and learning, and music has been a big part of my life ever since. Since then I’ve played in bands, led music, played and sung more solos than I can remember, written and arranged a number of songs, and taught plenty of people to play and read music. I know I can help YOU reach your musical goals, too. Performing Experience: Several Rock and jazz bands, solo performance with guitar and vocal, lead adult and student bands.
