In addition to teaching the fundamentals and providing a solid musical foundation, she is able to tailor lessons to the student's specific needs.

The drum instructor is very good at presenting new concepts, keeping my son's attention and checking for his comprehension along the way... A parent doesn't need to sit and observe long to see the amazing drums/music talent and education his teacher has... It is exciting to see him share his talents and love of music with my son. We have a new appreciation for drummers through him. We appreciate this school and look forward to our future drum lessons."
