Get ready to be blown away, Virginia!  Jill M., drum and percussion extraordinaire, is the newest teacher to explode on the B&B scene. And with years of experience, she’ll make an incredible instructor for any of you future drum masters out there.

Dedicated to giving each student a perfect experience and understanding that each student learns differently, Jill creates individual lesson plans for each of her drummers. And her enthusiasm is contagious. Jill’s passion, patience, and relatability keep students motivated and eager to play lesson after lesson.

When Jill’s not busy teaching new drummers how to hold sticks or bang the bass, you can find her at the Guitar Center, where she was hired as a member of the drum department. And for any worrywarts out there, rest easy when you’re with Jill. She’s also a licensed EMT.

Jill also teaches guitar which is an excellent asset to families with multiple children.

Why I work well with kids?

My goal as a teacher is to create an individual, flexible curriculum for each student by taking into account the growth that takes place at each lesson. The first year in a drummers musical life is the most imperative, it’s very important to not let the student get discouraged. I would be a very passionate, patient, and effective teacher. My passion and love for music gives me the enthusiasm to pass it on to my students. I am very patient when teaching and realize everyone learns differently, and to reach some students you must try different methods of teaching.

Gary Talks About Drum Equipment for Beginners

Written by Bhagwan on July 11th, 2012. Posted in Ask The Music Expert, Blog, Drums, Parent Tips

Gary knows about drum equipment.  He also knows about teaching and performing.  

 

Useful information for drummers

 Using a practice pad is very beneficial. There are wooden based practice pads with rubber on tops and Plastic pads with adjustable head tensioners, Both work very well.

These days you can find great deals on full adult and junior drum kits starting around $300 dollars. These deals can be found at The guitar center and Chuck Levens Washington music center (Talk to Coleman) in the drum department, Tell Him i sent you and he”ll take great care of you.

For great deals on vintage and second hand Drums check out Atomic music in College Park (talk to Lewis). They have tons of great drum kits at great prices. The benefits of buying a vintage drum are that they sound great and the value over the years will possibly increase.

Getting Children to Practice Drums

Written by Bhagwan on November 26th, 2011. Posted in Drums, Instruments

When it comes to private drum lessons, there is no shortage of parents who are frustrated about their child’s practice habits.  Sometimes getting your child to practice the drums can be a tall order and the question “Have you practiced for your drum lesson?”is usually answered with a “No”.   Motivating a child to practice the drums shouldn’t take too much effort but it does take a proactive parent to assist in the musical development of a child.

Practicing the drums can and should be a rewarding experience for young students and there is certainly a point when the development should lead to the student practicing for his or her own enjoyment.   Here are a few tips to help your child enjoy practicing.

Praise:  Don’t forget to reward your young student with praise.  Every child wants to feel like his efforts are being appreciated.  Positive reinforcement goes a long way.  Instead of berating a child for not practicing, find something in the practice that deserves praise.  If you hear a nice riff or correct rhythm, let them know that is sounds great.  Let them know that you enjoy hearing the song or groove being played in its entirety.

Listen:  If you can take the time to sit and listen to them play the drums on a regular basis, the child will have motivation to make improvements.   This can take some patience, especially at the beginning of their drum lessons but giving your full attention to your young drummer will provide added enthusiasm.  Inspire your child with your positive support!

Family recognition:  Using a progress chart can be useful.  A simple piece of paper marked with song names and stickers can be placed on the fridge or any other place in the house where it will be highly visible.  Mark X’s after each time the rhythm is played to show how often they are working on the piece.  Maybe a treat or reward of some nature can be given upon completion of preset goals.

Teacher:  Be sure to communicate with the private drum teacher on a regular basis regarding both the lesson content and the child’s practice material.  It helps to be familiar with the music and your child will be aware of your attentiveness.

Performance: Drum recitals can be a great way to motivate students, but holding “mini concerts” in your home on a more frequent basis can help as well.   Gather a few family members once a week to hear the latest piece and to share in the progress of the music lessons.
