Welcome Students!



Welcome to Jim Roberts Percussion! So you want to learn drum set, hand drums, beginning piano, guitar or vocals? Or maybe you're a band or orchestra student who wants to learn traditional percussion (mallets, snare drum, timpani). Either way - You've come to the right place!

I've been teaching performing and producing for over 20 years. Because my interests are varied, I have a lot of different "musical wells" to draw upon, from music of the world to the music of the America. They include all types of current styles including Alternative, Pop, Hip and Hop, and Latin to Folk, African, Cuban, Brazilian, Rock, Country, Classical, Jazz and others. Presently, I teach music at Elon University. I am also a gigging musician with lots of real world experience in most contemporary styles as well as world music. For me that includes congas, djembe, dun-dun, dumbek, various frame drums and singing. If you are a vocalist, I can help you too. I ran a studio in Nashville, TN and produced dozens of vocal sessions for records and demos. As a producer, I have produced over 15 albums. I also play many different instruments and arrange songs and compositions. Let me know if you're trying to do a record and I will do a consultation session for you.

So, the odds are - I can help you be a better musician, no matter what you want to study. If you are already an artist or have a band, I can help you make that record with great production.

What can't I do? Bungee jumping, Mountain climbing, Cave diving or Bull Riding is in the list. Hopefully though, I can help you reach your goal as a musician. Give me a call to set your lesson today.

Peace and Blessings - JIM
