Welcome to the "Groove Dr.'s" website. With over 35 years of drumming experience, the "Groove Dr.'s" offer the best drum instruction to students of all ages and experience levels in northern Utah. We believe that above all else your learning experience must be fun.
We provide professional drum instruction to students of all ages and at all levels from beginner to advanced. It is our goal to provide the best instruction tailored to each studentís individual needs.
Lessons cover drum set fundamentals, music reading and comprehension skills, snare drum rudiments and drum set playing. We emphasize the "musicality" aspect of drumming and often have our students playing along to music by the second lesson!
Many different musical styles are taught, depending on each student's interests, desires, needs, or experience level including:
Brazilian & Afro Cuban/Caribbean Latin, Jazz, Big Band, Funk, Blues, Rhythm & Blues, Rock, Alternative, & Hip-hop
Lessons are 30 minutes once a week and are customized to each student's needs.
Additionally, Groove Dr.'s offers group classes in various aspects of drumming including rudiments and sticking..
An exciting opportunity for our students is our A.M.P.'D. (Alliance of Music Professionals) program. We have teamed up with Scott Graves of "On Track Music " and other teachers (guitar, bass, keyboards and vocals) and our students are offered the opportunity to join performance groups (student bands) which perform several times a year to showcase their skills. These groups offer students a taste of what performing for a live audience means and teaches them to work with the other members of a band. Above all else the performance groups are a lot of fun!
