Drum Lessons (for children or teenagers)

Denali taught my son snare drum, timpani, and marimba, and coached him with the Seattle Youth Symphonies. Denali prepared him well; my son got into the highest of the five orchestras, and then got the opportunity to be a percussion intern with the youth symphony’s summer camp. Denali made access to lessons easy, communicated well, and demanded attention to detail, yet was gentle in his corrections.

Denali is the first guy to really get how I learned when it came to drumming; the knowledge that he has about rhythm and drums themselves also is always incredible.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My lesson fees include phone/email assistance with any problems you may be having with lesson materials & assignments during the time between our regularly scheduled meetings.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially I like to assess the potential student’s goals and previous musical training. From there I want to hear and watch you play so we can create a short and long-term lesson plan.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a Bachelor of Music degree in Percussion Performance and have been a busy, active performer for over twenty-five years.
