Drum type
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: In my personalized private lessons, offered online or in person, I will cover everything from classical and rudimental snare drum technique to rock, jazz and latin drumming. I'm very adept and experienced at helping beginning to advanced students develop and enjoy sight reading and hand-technique along with mastering the coordination required on the drum set to confidently perform any genre of music. I teach drums/percussion at the Dennis Murphy School of Music, Robert Louis Stevenson School and Santa Catalina School. Each private lesson is fine tuned to the students personal needs and demands. I've been performing and teaching Drums all over the world for 35 years and I am very dedicated and passionate about what I do. Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions. Thanks!

My young son, who has some learning challenges and anxiety, has been working with Mike for a couple of months now. When I initially contacted Mike I was concerned he may be put off by these challenges but he did not miss a beat (pun intended ;) and responded right away to his needs without hesitation. Mike's expertise and easy going patient manner make him a perfect instructor. He has lit a fire in my son and made him see that he too can be a drummer. For this I am so grateful! If you're considering drum lessons for yourself or a family member, I highly recommend Mike Shannon!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I charge $45 for a 1/2 hour lesson and $75 for an hour long lesson.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Percussion performance major at the University of Northern Colorado.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I’ve worked with beginning students as young as five years old as well as students who are older adults. I’m very proud that some of my students have begun lessons as beginners and have continued until becoming advanced professional musicians. I’ve also helped advanced players work on certain skills they’d like to develop.
