I am thrilled to hear that you or your kid is ready to start taking drum lessons! I have been teaching drum set and percussion for eleven years, and last year finished my master's in percussion performance at CU, after a music education degree in Michigan.

Drum lessons are unique with me because of my background with all percussion makes lessons flexible and fun.

This makes a very fun and educational experience.
