About lessons with Curvey

I have extensive training as a classical percussionist as well as a set player in a band format.

As a teacher I focus first on good snare fundamentals and solid reading of written rhythms before moving on to the complexity of the whole set.

• Over 15 years experience teaching
• Music degree - B.A.at VSU
• Performance/recital opportunities for students
• Convenient location

I Focus On Permanent Skills

---

The ultimate goal sought by most people who take lessons is to establish a permanent set of playing skills to have for a lifetime. Rote learning, while it does play an important role, cannot be the only approch a teacher uses with his students. Particularly with percussion instruments counting and exact placement of notes in time are as essential as "feel" to being a well-rounded player.
