About Kenny

My musical journey started when I was 8 years old, taking private classical percussion lessons from graduate students at Indiana University until High School when I started taking lessons with university faculty. I have a bachelor's degree, from Indiana University, in Music Performance (percussion), Audio Technology and Ethnomusicology.

In college, I was a student of Kenny Aronoff, the drummer with John Mellencamp and later an in-demand studio drummer. Through Kenny Aronoff, I learned the Alan Dawson Technique on drum set. Alan Dawson was a famous jazz drummer/instructor who taught at Berklee College of Music.

My experience includes
- Tutoring many students at middle schools and high schools, in the Austin and Round Rock, TX school districts,
- Taught drums for 10 years at Tommy's Drum Shop, in Austin, to students from 3rd grade to adult.
- Judged UIL All-State Band auditions (TX).

I currently teach at my home and online. For anyone looking to take drum lessons in the Austin, Buda, Kyle, and San Marcos, TX areas, feel free to take in-person lessons at my studio. For those too far to come to me, I also teach online.

About the lesson

In-Person and Online Lessons
-Approach
I am patient and teach to the student's goals. I teach the student how to play the instrument, focusing on different styles along the way, making the student a more well-rounded and confident player while having fun. And isn't that what playing music is about?

Some of the things the student will learn:
* Hand position
* How to make the stick work for you
* Conservation of energy
* Reading skills
* Hand technique
* Foot technique (drum set)
* 4-way independence (drum set)
* Musicality
* and more!

Teaching Specialties
* Classical Percussion (Classical/Band/Marching band)
* Drum Set
* Latin Percussion, with an emphasis on Afro-Cuban music (Salsa)

Perfect! Kenny is a great instructor. I was looking for someone to help me focus on rudiments and reading music. He has a lesson plan that addresses those and more. Highly recommend.

Kenny's response
Rhett had been taking lessons at The School of Rock for about a year and wanted to progress more with his technique, reading and 4-way independence. After assessing what Rett could do and what he needed work on, we came up with a plan to get him started and feel good about reaching his goals. Rhett will be fun to work with and I am looking forward to helping him become more proficient.

Perfect! My 10yo son just had his first lesson with Kenny and he loved it. I think they will get along great. I was able to sit in Kenny’s house while I waited for my son. I’m looking forward to see how my son progresses.

Kenny's response
Anica's 10 y.o. son, Rain, came by for an intro lesson. Rain started out shy but was more comfortable by the time we finished our lesson. Rain looks like he will be a fine student.

Kenny is a wonderful drum teacher and a great guy.
He taught me from square one and over time helped me develop the confidence to start playing live gigs.
He has a clear teaching method and the patience to allow you to develop at your own pace. I always looked forward to my lessons with him.
