Teaching Style: jazz, rock
Teaching Day(s): Thursday, Friday
I graduated with a diploma in Jazz and Contemporary Popular Music from MacEwan University specializing in Drumset Performance. I have been playing drums for over a decade and have years of experience playing live and teaching. I’m very passionate about music and I want to foster a similar love for the instrument in my students, and encourage them to pursue music in their lives.
My journey as a musician started in my basement as a young teenager; my love for music would eventually lead me to seek out knowledge wherever I could find it and any playing opportunities that were out there. Through study, and by playing in different bands, I immersed myself in different styles of music including Latin American, Afro-Cuban, Jazz, Rock, and Pop. My goal is to teach what I’ve learned on my drumming journey and inspire my students to craft their own. See you in lessons! Skylar offers lessons at our Edmonton South location and rate is $28 per half hour.
