ABOUT THE LESSON
A typical drum lesson with Jake follows the philosophy of curiosity, enjoyment, and fun! The main goal at the end of the day is to enjoy the process, and have a good time learning new things about music. Based on his degree education on teaching styles and lesson planning, he prefers to work with the student to move forward in the way that best suits them. This can range from a fully practical lesson with demonstrations of playing grooves, to an in-depth analysis of drumming transcriptions and graded pieces.
The first priority is basing the lesson around the goals of the student - Jake excels in tailoring the experience for the benefit of the person he's teaching. If they are interested in learning a song, then the lesson centers around the song. If they are interested in a particular genre or style, a series of lessons will be drafted to fully encompass all the techniques related to it. A lesson with Jake is, above all, a warm and encouraging zone, where the student can fully feel comfortable to make mistakes, learn from them, and improve in the process.
