Jon Miller - Drums
“I teach students at all stages of musical development from complete beginners to professional level. I approach the drum set from a jazz perspective with techniques that apply to all styles of music including four limb independence, improvising, rudiments and chart reading. My students learn good practice habits, how to approach challenging material, how to prepare for auditions and live shows and how to develop their own creative voice. My overarching goal is for students to have fun while developing confidence in their abilities at whatever level they aspire to.”
