"Everyone learns differently, and at a different pace. I always tailor my lessons to the individual student. I will create a custom lesson plan for you to learn what you want to learn. I prefer to teach in the student's home, on their own drums, where they're most comfortable. A less-nervous student is a student who is more able to focus on the task at hand." - Nick
