Overview:   A   A   A

Larry Bennett has been providing drum set and snare instruction privately for almost 40 years.  Larry focuses on the art of using "approaches" to convey particular ideas and concepts to his students.  This is an excellent tool used to enable the student to better understand and retain what is taught during the lesson.

In any given lesson, emphasis is usually placed on: technique, rudiments, theory, ear training, time keeping, performing skills, adapting to different styles, and feels.  To help apply what is learned, time is always spent during each lesson playing along with music from his extensive music library which has been custom tailored for the drummer.  He assists his students in preparation for school band auditions, music college entrance evaluations and helps to prepare students for local drumming competitions as well.  He is fluid with several styles of playing and enjoys teaching students of all ages.

Larry will assess each student's strengths in learning and adapt his teaching style accordingly to fit their needs. He takes a lot of pride in both playing and teaching, and it shows in his work.  His motto is "Having fun doing what you love is the key to success."  Larry is also soon to release his comprehensive method book: "Chasing the Drum."
