          I evaluate perspective student's to find who is innately talented.

      For those that know they already have innate talent; simply find a teacher that likes my method and make some wonderful sounds. The world needs it.

      I evaluate for free because of the love of seeing new percussion players manifest.

I start by showing the student some basic rhythms. Sometimes conversation helps when student attempts these rhythms. The conversation starts with 2 questions.

1) What does the student consider percussion to be?

2) Why does the student want to play a particular instrument?

     For the students that have an easy time with basic rhythms, I have a proven way to advance them faster and easier than conventional methods. This also makes it more fun. First, a student chooses the style of music to be played and brings to the first lesson their favorite song. At the lesson, a teacher of that particular style immediately starts some advanced rhythms. I've repeatedly seen that many students can follow the teacher really well within minutes.This happens because of three reasons. (1) the student's innate ability, (2) their chosen music inspires them and (3) the teacher's brilliance inspires them.

 

     Of course, only the greatest of the student's remember what they did the next day when the teacher is gone. With enough lessons, all the students advance to some degree.
