Percussion lessons are available for any age student, at any level. Warren has had students from 5 years old to 85 years old.
In other words, you're never too young or too old to learn to play drums!
If your child is interested in being part of a school band in the percussion section, lessons are required. Please note that the St. Lukes School of the Arts is no longer in operation. Warren has been the preferred percussion teacher in southwest Orlando and is currently accepting students for the 2011-2012 season, including students that were hoping to attend St. Lukes.
Warren is an approved Orange County Public School System vendor.

Each percussion lesson is one half hour and taught at Warren's home studio in
southwest Orlando. As a professional percussionist his entire life,
Warren's passion and skill for teaching percussion is unsurpassed. Get the
one-on-one attention of private percussion lessons and see what a difference it
makes. One hour
percussion lessons are available by request. It is recommended students take a
percussion lesson
once per week. Beginner percussion students start on a drum pad and move up to a practice set
after they advance.

Warren also is experienced in and welcomes teaching children with Autism. It is argued that participating in music therapy allows the person with autism to experience and explore a wider range of emotions. The nature of music is to combine a secure structure with constant change; in therapy music can form a familiar environment which the person with autism can participate in, occasionally diverting into episodes of more spontaneous and new experiences of play, according to (or sometimes slightly beyond) his or her ability. An excerpt from kylestreehouse.org. Please feel free to contact us regarding music therapy through drum lessons. |
