About Drew J.
Hi, there! My name is Drew and I can't wait to meet you! I've been teaching private lessons since 2009 and have loved helping my students perform, achieve at high levels, and become accomplished musicians. I went to MTSU and earned a degree in Music Education in 2013. I'm a goofy and hard working person and my teaching style is relaxed, persistent, and fun. I look forward to helping you reach your goals!
