Sean's Teaching Philosophy

Sean serves his students by teaching them not only how to play, but how to practice and learn as well. He tailors his lessons to the individual student. A compromise of what they want to learn as well as what he wants them to learn. Sean teaches beginners through advanced students.  He is honored to teach drum lessons as he is allowed the privilege of passing his experience and knowledge on and watching his students grow in their ability and musicianship.  He feels it a joy to see the confidence build when someone discovers their talent.

Sean expects his students to work hard and practice regularly but to also have fun while doing it.  He feels that most of the development of the student will come through dedicated practice.  He believes that a student’s lesson plan should be clearly planned and directed; this will eliminate confusion and wasted time. Sean is accessible to his students for questions or consult beyond the half-hour or hour weekly lesson through phone, email or Internet group.

A point that Sean likes to pass onto his students is that you can never stop learning. He feels that no matter how long you have done something, there is always something else to learn. It's all about attitude.  Once you give up on trying to learn something new every time you practice, doors will close on you.  He believes that the secret to success in anything is made up of deciding what you want to do, start doing it without stopping.  Drumming does a lot for self-esteem, confidence and coordination (physically and intellectually).
