About Kevin S.
Hi there! I've been drumming for 14 years and teaching for 6 years! I've taught elementary students through college age and beyond. I love seeing my students grow and learn and pursue music from a place of interest, passion, and enjoyment!
Music has given me so many opportunities like traveling across the country for 3 months at a time, traveling to China with a professional orchestra, and performing more shows than I can count. I've recorded on multiple albums and have received scholarships through music. I've met the most amazing people and had incredible experiences thanks to music.
I want you to have your own experiences with music and I would like to help you get there. Whether it's drums, percussion, piano, guitar, or anything else, I want to teach you. I start with strong fundamentals to help you understand not just your instrument, but all of music. This way, you can play any instrument with a bit of practice.
I am here for you, whether you want to learn music as a fun hobby or make it your life. I am here to help you in your journey with music and help guide you to your goals.
