Teaching drum lessons is, for him, a great joy and a great
responsibility. It is a great joy because he get the
privileges of passing his knowledge along to his students,
of getting to know them, and of watching their growth. It is
a great responsibility because, through his teachers and
education, he has been given a very precious gift that he
must be careful to pass along safely.
Manfred about his Teaching Philosophy:
"I seek to serve my students by teaching them not only how
to play, but how to learn. I do not teach "beats and fills"
to my students. If that's what a student is after, I'm the
wrong teacher. Rather, I teach them how to understand what
drumming and rhythm are, so that they can learn things for
themselves. I believe that a student's course of study
should be clearly planned and directed, with weekly assigned
objectives and goals. This eliminates any confusion and
wasted time. I want my students to get results, quickly if
not easily. I want the skills they earn to last, and to lead
them to higher levels of enjoyment and self-expression. I
expect a lot of hard work from my students, and I expect
their trust, knowing that the things I assign them to do
will achieve lasting results in the shortest time."
