-Introductions to fills, why they exists, and when to use them
-Introductions to rudiments, what they are, why we use them and ways to apply them.

I always approach with the students needs in mind. I take as many steps necessary to ensure that the lessons are as fun, safe, and as productive as possible.
With my upbringing on black musical styles such as funk, Reggae and Soul, I heavily emphasize the importance of having the right feel of any genre, and how every technique learned should be to complement the grooves as opposed to being a mere add-on.
