TIME - The one thing you don't get back!!!
The most important thing I’ve found about booking lessons is it’s easy to lose focus and let that goal slip farther into the distant future.
So, instead BOOK YOUR LESSON TODAY! That way, it’s already on your calendar - waiting for you!

TESTIMONIAL
"It's been a little over 2 years that I have been taking lessons with Jacob Kaye. I am so excited about my development, I wish I had met him 10 years ago! My technique, reading and independence has dramatically improved. Jacob is passionate about teaching drums with the goal of taking his students to highest level. The only limitation is the student's desire and the availability of practice time. My goal is to play all the styles of music from Rock to Jazz , and with Jacob I'm definitely on my way." Roger D.

Music Lesson Mission
"Instruction for motivated, serious students and professionals using techniques and concepts that develop the consistent excellence necessary for continued success within the contemporary music scene."

REALITY CHECK - Drummers are hired based on their sense timing, feel, versatility and musicality. Very few, if any, are hired for a band based. solely, on their abilities to do drum fills and solos.

Private lessons offer you the advantage of completely individualized study tailored - to each student's individual strengths and weaknesses; while the core curriculum explored remains the same for all students. Students, who remain under my instruction long enough can benefit from:

  • Learn the habit of "how" to practice for results
  • Master all 40 P.A.S. Rudiments
  • Read Music, Interpret Charts, Sight Reading
  • Groove Development with & without a click
  • Styles Development back-beat grooves (Rock, R&B, Funk), world grooves (Afro/ Cuban, Latin), Play and understand concepts of Jazz and Swing
  • Explore Concert & Rudimental Snare Drum Concepts
  • Solo Improvisation (beyond the clichés)
  • Develop "Active" listening habits
  • Transform you're playing, technically & Musically, into an "Authentic" style.
  • and more...

Preparation for Music Auditions for University, CEGEP, Cruise Ship, & Band (Time Oriented)

University of Southern California Senior Research Associate says: "Music training has been found to be related to better language and mathematical skills, higher IQ, and overall greater academic achievement. Also, differences between musicians and non-musicians have been found in areas of the brain related to hearing and movement, among others."
