Drum type
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: You CAN play drums, guaranteed, and you've got someone to help you every step of the way. I demystify the process and get you playing immediately. Take lessons from the comfort of your own home and drumset via video chat. There's no travel involved, and it's as easy as sitting down and opening your laptop. My mission is to empower women through playing drums. I love seeing my students do something they never thought was possible. I've had women hug me with tears in their eyes after playing their first show, saying, "thank you, thank you," and I can say with all honesty, there's not much in the world that's better than that.

I'm so happy to be able to tell people what a great drum instructor JJ is. JJ is an informed and experienced professional musician who is also full of fun. Her joy in playing music is unbounded and infectious, and her heart is totally open to anyone who wants to learn. You couldn't find a better musician, instructor, or person anywhere.

When I began my lessons, I was short on confidence (and long on questions). I quickly found that JJ is more than an instructor or coach. She is a patient, and enthusiastic mentor and guide. Thanks to her, I found joy in drumming again, and the courage to explore other forms of percussion. I would recommend her without reservation!

JJ is a terrific teacher. In a year of Skype lessons, she has turned me into a drummer capable of playing with a band. Take lessons from her. You won't be sorry.

JJ is so RAD! Such a knowledgeable teacher, always sends lesson recaps and excercises to try between lessons. Never took lessons before and JJ made them so fun and helpful!

Edica, thank you so much. And I love that pic! I'd forgotten you'd taken it. So awesome.

I've been taking drum lessons with JJ via Skype for almost two months now and LOVE IT! First, I absolutely love the convenience of the Skype Lessons. It's so easy to schedule and coordinate and is just as effective as an in person lesson- even more so since we can both access and share emails/files/videos/lesson plans so quickly! By just angling my laptop, she can see and hear everything I'm doing and is able to easily advise on technique. Plus, there's just somehow less pressure than having someone physically in the room with you, and I feel more comfortable to experiment, make mistakes, then learn. Second, aside from the tech aspect of it, JJ is an amazing teacher! She really tailors lessons to you as an individual based on your goals, skill level, schedule, tastes, and how you work best. She always has drills and lessons ready to go, but is completely adaptable when something different comes up that you might want/need to work on. Everything she teaches is incredibly practical and well thought out to ensure the best, most effective learning process possible. Plus, it's so fun! She sends recaps after every lesson, which is so helpful in keeping track of your progress and knowing what to work on moving forward. JJ is patient, enthusiastic, and everything you'd want in a drum teacher. When I hit a wall or am trying a challenging new technique that makes me think, "I will NEVER be able to get this!" JJ is always so helpful and encouraging and empowers me to realize I TOTALLY CAN, then I TOTALLY DO. I feel like I am flying in how quickly I've progressed in just a few weeks, and it's all thanks to JJ!!
