Mr. Gavin – Drums
What is your first musical memory?
The first musical memory that I remember is when my mum showed me her old classical guitar. It was given to her by her grandfather and now it is in my possession. She taught me how to play the theme for The Godfather when I was probably 6 or 7 years old.
What is your favorite part about being a drum teacher?
My favorite thing is that moment when a rhythm, or a song, or a rudiment, or any concept finally clicks with a student. There is a look upon their faces like everything finally makes sense. When your mind and body get into sync. It brings back nostalgia from the times when I had this same sort of breakthroughs. That lightbulb moment is what makes teaching worth it.
What practice tips and tricks do you have for Cappella Academy students?
Practice constantly, and I don’t mean just picking up your instrument and playing 20 minutes a day, which you should. Create your own music when you walk down the street by feeling your footsteps in a particular rhythm. Be mindful, think about what your body has to physically do before you do it. And that means playing slow, like as slow as you can. If you can’t play something slow, you can’t play it at all. When trying to tab out a song on your own, listen to the bass. Usually the bass instrument is the dead giveaway for the “feel” of the piece of music.
What is the one thing you want your students to take away from their lessons with you?
One thing I’d like my students to take away from our lessons is being able to listen. Listen to a piece of music and being able to find the rhythms, find the main accented beats by just trusting your ears. That’ll come from listening to tons of music as often as you can.
