Ed Hartman | Offering private lessons in
Seattle, Washington |
Introduction
I teach all types of percussion including drumset, marimba, vibes, congas, hand percussion, and concert percussion. I have a great studio with live play-along (he plays keyboards), and video recording (you record your lessons!). We're occassionally making CD's, too!
My Teaching Background
I have been teaching music for over 25 years in the Seattle area. Here's what I've been up to:
Performance:
Ed Hartman has recorded and performed with numerous bands, orchestras, dance and theatre co’s including: Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel, Tickle Tune Typhoon, and Ellipsis. In the Northwest, he has become a top freelance percussionist and recording artist. As a soloist, Ed has performed at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in NYC. His own band The Olympic Marimba Band performs music from around the world, while The Olympic Marimba Duo, with Don Dieterich, performs jazz and classical arrangements for mallet instruments and percussion.
Education/Teaching:
Originally from Chicago, Ed received his degree in percussion from Indiana University. Ed Hartman has written articles, sheet music and books about music for Olympic Publications, and C. Alan Publications. His albums "The River", and "Northwest Passage", have received national critical acclaim. "Marimbells of Christmas" has been heard on television, "Twas the Night" (HBO) and "Passions", (NBC), and in the motion pictures, "Surviving Christmas" (Dreamworks), and "Mini's First Time" (Arclight Films). He has scored music for T.V., radio, and even a planetarium. Ed is currently touring nationally as a YAMAHA performing artist and clinician. Ed also endorses Mike Balter mallets.
My Teaching Philosophy
I have a comprehensive and universal approach to learning music. The techniques you learn on one instrument can easily be transferred to another. I have a logical approach to rhythm and coordination, and can teach anyone how to play and read any style of music.
Rates And Availability
I have a studio in Wallingford (Seattle) at The Drum Exchange (he owns and operates). Lesson rates are $40 per lesson for 1/2 hour, and $50 per lesson for 45 minutes. I teach through North Seattle Community College, as well (at my studio, but you can get college credit).
