Jeremy’s commentary on instruction:

Teaching is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. After 25 years of performing and over five years of teaching, I try and share what I have learned to help others. My approach is simple: it’s all about the student. Each individual is different and I try to cater the lesson according to that person’s needs. For example, some people wish to improve their timing or sense of groove; others hope to get better at double bass playing; some are bored with playing the same fills. Whatever the situation may be, I am there to serve the student.

I teach a wide range of personalities and levels of playing. My only requirement is that one has to be passionate about the craft. My lessons go beyond just the art of drumming. After a successful career with Breaking Benjamin and continuing work as a professional musician, I can offer insight and advice on the music business and all that goes with it.

For my students 18 and under, I have a “Student of the Month” program. The program requires that each student practice a minimum of three, 1/2 hour sessions per week to be accounted for by a parent’s initials. If the student has each week of the month checked off successfully, he/she is eligible for SOTM. Criteria for SOTM is not necessarily the best drummer. It can also be someone who had improved the most.

Each SOTM receives the following:

• a t-shirt bearing "Drum Student of the Month"
• a $20 gift certificate for FYE music store
• his/her picture taken to be placed on the wall in my studio and also on this Web site

Lessons are $40.00 per hour and $20 per half hour. I am located in Selinsgrove, PA, and have students not only locally, but also regulars from Atlantic City, NJ, Virginia and New York City. Some students also stop for a lesson while traveling on business.
