DRUM LESSONS
LESSONS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
I am taking a break from teaching to navigate a move to Tacoma, WA.
NOW OFFERING ONLINE DRUM LESSONS!
I love playing drums! A primarily self-taught drummer myself, I consider my role as one of gentle guide. I help provide a foundation all the while allowing the student's instincts and interests to take the lead. My aim is to encourage the organic development of each person's individual style. Together, my students and I have a blast practicing stick control, limb independence, learning to read drum notation, using the whole drum set, playing beats and fills, and learning songs to jam along with. Through it all, I share my passion for drums and music and encourage active listening in daily life. The best players are those who listen and the best collaborators are generous and responsive. It is my hope to instill these concepts in every student I work with.
Ages 9 and up!
I am now offering lessons on a sliding scale.
1 hour $50-$65
45 min $40-$55
30 min $25-$40
For adults, I recommend a full hour. For the younger players, a ½ hour. 45 minute lessons also available.
All you need to start is a pair of sticks and a willingness to try! (note - for online lessons, you'll need at least a practice pad, but ideally a kit of some sort)
"I started drum lessons as very much a beginner. I had never played an instrument and could barely clap my hands to a beat... Sara has that great teacher instinct of knowing when to be patient and knowing when to provide challenges. I always look forward to Sara's encouragement and guidance. For those about to rock, Sara can show you the way!"

"I have wanted to be a drummer since I was 10 years old and Sara is now helping me achieve a life long dream. I feel so fortunate to have found Sara for many reasons. One, I have a strange way of learning, some may call it a learning difficulty, and so classes actually provoke some anxiety. I could not go to just any teacher; it needed to be someone who could be patient with me and hold the space so that I could learn at my own pace. I have never felt anything but acceptance and championing from Sara. Her capability to understand and relay technique as well as have you experience the heart of the feeling is a fantastic combo. If you have been wanting to learn the drums then you have just found the best person to drum alongside you!"

"By the end of lesson one, I could drum along to Highway to Hell, albeit terribly. But the Lund did not judge."
