Drum Lessons from experienced, trained professional – BKdrummer.com

Friendly, supportive drum instruction from a seasoned professional. My goal is to provide you with technical and musical skills that will allow you to express your creativity and get the most out of your musical experience.

Whether you are just exploring the drums, play in a school ensemble, forming a band, interested in a career as a working drummer/percussionist, or want to take your playing to the next level, I can help you achieve your goals.

Individual drum lessons are focused on your needs, desires and ability, but still maintain direction to ensure you have a solid foundation.

Lesson Topics Include:
Technique – Proper grip, posture and physical independence.
Reading – From basic rhythms to complex charts, sightreading and interpreting written parts. Learn to write your own charts.
Styles – Understand the core of each musical style and develop ability to authentically replicate.
Improvisation – From fills to solos, develop your unique style and learn to “play what you hear”.
Dynamics – Learn how to fit in with a group or ensemble. Be more than a drummer, be a musician.
Drum Gear – Equipment selection, Set-up, Tuning, Studio techniques.

I am a trained Drummer/Percussionist with 30 years experience and have played in just about every musical environment possible. From casual and club dates, concerts, TV and movie recording sessions, to classical ensembles, theatre shows, Jazz and Progressive Rock albums.

In addition, I am a BMI writer with compositions currently playing throughout the world, so my perspective is not just from the drummer’s chair. My focus now is teaching what I’ve learned, as my many teachers have done for me.

Please visit my site BKdrummer.com to learn more, or feel free to call or write for more information. I would welcome an opportunity to discuss how I can help you achieve your goals.

Amber Field (amberfieldmusic.com) studied classical
Indian music (tabla and esraj) in India at Visva
Bharati University for 2 years and also studied Arabic
and Latin percussion at Community Music Center. A
world fusion specialist, her private lessons are
designed to students’ skill levels and needs, and help
them become solid accompanists and soloists. Amber
takes great pride in her teaching, encouragement,
support, and technical expertise. She opens students
to their fullest potentials by assisting them in
discovering themselves. She is available to teach
absolute beginners to high intermediate students while
helping them on their musical journeys. In particular,
she encourages and supports more women and queer women
of color in learning music.

Didgeridoo – Amber has been teaching the basic drone,
rhythmic techniques, coloring, melodic playing, cheek
tapping, animal sounds, overblowing, and circular
breathing for the last 6 years. Students will be able
to use their breath and sounds to express themselves
and make music while circular breathing. They will be
able to play didgeridoo with other instruments or
solo. Her specialties in didgeridoo include sound
healing, ambient sounds, trance, and rock.

Tabla - Amber teaches tuning, the fundamental strokes,
basic taals (rhythms), kaydas, tukras, chakkardars,
relas, gats, and other world rhythms on tabla.
Students will know all the basic rhythms such as
teentaal (16 beat), Ektaal (12 beat), Jhaptaal (10
beat), Kaharwa (8 beat), Rupak (7 beat), and Dadra (6
beat). Her specialty is using tabla in a variety of
world fusion and improvisational settings including
kirtan. Students will also be able to sing bhajans and
other songs and accompany themselves on tabla.

Djembe - For the last 7 years, Amber has been teaching
many traditional rhythms such as Muribayasa, Calipso,
Kuku, Bomba, Bembe, and Tiriba. Students will be
comfortable playing in drum circles, accompanying
other instruments, and soloing after taking her
lessons. They will also be able to accompany
themselves on djembe as they sing.

Arabic tambourine (riq) — For 7 years, Amber has been
teaching all the basic belly dancing rhythms (ayyub,
baladi, maqsum, malfuf, saidi, chiftetelli, masmoudi,
as well as bolero, rumba, latin, etc). Students will
be able to play along to all kinds of music, accompany
themselves as they sing, and sound like a mini-drumkit
after taking her riq lessons.

Esraj – For 2 years, Amber has been teaching beginning
esraj. Students will learn bowing techniques,
fingering, tuning, traditional Indian scales (ragas),
double bowing techniques, and more.

Amber charges $60/hour and $30/half hour for lessons.
Sliding scale is available for lower-income students.

Her website amberfieldmusic.com includes more
information about lessons as well as sound clips.

Hello,

I currently have openings for new drum set students in Oakland and Berkeley.

I have taught music professionally for nearly a decade, at my own private instruction studio, and as faculty at Music Maker School in Acton, MA and Red House Studios in Walnut Creek, CA. I have a B.A. from Berklee College of Music in Boston with an emphasis on drum set performance, and have performed worldwide in genres ranging from jazz to rock to Latin to classical to funk.

I love working with students of all ages and abilities, and take great pleasure in seeing firsthand how positively music can give a student confidence and joy. I teach lessons in the comfort of your own home so you can use your own equipment and don’t need to travel.
