▌About Me
Hello! I'm Lin Sung-Hsueh, a jazz drum performer and educator specializing in jazz, and extending to Latin and R&B. To me, the charm of jazz drumming isn't just the rhythm itself, but how it establishes rhythm and dialogue in different types of music.
I also enjoy making music with friends, and I maintain my musical state through live performances and continuous practice. In teaching, I pay close attention to students' detailed issues, from feel, rhythm to musicality, gradually identifying key areas for improvement to make learning more efficient.
I hope students not only learn to play drums but also understand the history and accumulated techniques behind jazz music, enabling them to achieve more stable and musical performances across various musical styles.
