" From private lessons in the comfort of your own home or having them in a fully equipped studio, lessons will find their way to bring the love of music into your life."
Hello, my name is Steve Geller and I offer private drum instruction from your home or mine. I have been working successfully with students ages 7 thru adulthood. I primarily work in the Summerlin, Centennial Hills, Northwest and Southwest areas of Las Vegas. I provide comprehensive studies for the drum pad and drum set including reading, rolling and rocking the kit. I make the lessons fun and entertaining while the student learns the essentials of drumming. I can have your son or daughter playing in no time.
***Qualifications***
I am a graduate from The Philadelphia College Of The Performing Arts with a BA degree in the Performance of Percussion with Jazz emphasis. I have been teaching in Las Vegas for over 20 years. Some students have been with me since Elementary school and have stayed thru Middle and even High school. I also teach at Brill Music Academy in Summerlin and have been with them for 15 years. Other places I have taught were at The Northwest Music Academy for 3 years, Ensemble Arts for 2 years and one year teaching at Sam Ash Music.
*** Lesson Details ***
Drum lessons can be fun and should be fun. Why else would we learn to play music? All you need is a pair of drum sticks and a practice pad to get started. No Drumset?, No problem. Brill Music and I have fully equipped drum sets in our studios. All you need are a pair of sticks. No Sticks? No problem, borrow mine for the drum lesson and lets rock out!
*** Travel Equipment ***
I always bring a drum pad, drum sticks and drum sheet music to my drum lessons. I would like my drum student to have their own practice pad and drum sticks but if not, I will have extra. A drum set can come later. I hand out drum sheet music accordingly so the student knows what to practice and prepare for his or hers next lesson. I also use iPod to teach drum parts from songs that my students like. Now they can play along with their favorite songs like they are in the band.
*** Specialties ***
I enjoy teaching beginners thru advanced. I teach technique, learning the 26 drum rudiments, reading marching band snare drum music as well as music for the drum set. Warm up exercises on the practice pad is essential to a good workout as well as playing beats, grooves and fills around the drum set. I enjoy watching my students progress and seeing them turn into promising musicians. Remember that you get out of it what you put in to it. I am humbly paying it forward to the next generation of drummers.
