T.P. Blog- Lesson #6- Starting Your Own Private Studio


This summer, I am teaching at The Music School of Roanoke Rapids, in Roanoke Rapids, NC! This lesson is a little different in that the topic is not anything specific to percussion, but rather dealing with starting your own private music studio. I will show you around the Music School and show you what we have created here.

I also got a chance to interview the owner, Katie Ammann. If you have any more questions about opening up your own studio or about what is going on with the Music School, please post in the comments section! The website for the Music School is http://www.themusicschoolofroanokerapids.com

Thanks for tuning in!

T.P. Blog- Lesson 5- Toys in the Orchestral Percussion Section


Today, we discuss some accessories in the orchestral percussion section, specifically: finger cymbals, triangle, and castanets. There are many different techniques to play these instruments, and I am going to detail the ones that work for me.

I would love to hear your comments about the lesson, and if you have any suggestions about what you would like me to cover next! Thanks for tuning in!

(I apologize for some of the sound distorting in a few places!)
