I’m Gavin I’m offering drum lessons to aspiring musicians. I’m a High School student and have been playing drums for almost 4 years. My main focuses include jazz and rock. I’ve played with musicians that have toured all around the world and have tried my best to learn from them. I try to teach in a way that students find fun and also productive. I find this helps them stay dedicated and enjoy themselves in the process.

Hello! I am new to this platform and excited to offer new student discounts and post reviews as they become available. The ability to hone a talent into a paid skill is most incredible. My lessons teach not only vocal technique and performance, but how to turn your talent into a paid skill set on a business level. I have worked with kids just beginning their journey to adults in need of speech therapy to professionals currently working in the industry. I love working with all levels. I currently take periodic brush up lessons from Natalie Weiss, and until recently the late Ron Anderson. I enjoy passing on knowlegde gained from their teachi...

A phenomenal coach, Deb has the gift to see what we are truly capable of as artists, as well as the honesty, instinct and passion to push us to be brave enough to go there.

Carrie N. says, "Jennifer quickly assessed my abilities and was able to get to work on teaching me. I learned a great amount in our first lesson alone. She is very knowledgeable, answering any question I had and offering more insight as well. With good direction from Jennifer along with practice I was able to see a difference in my playing very quickly. In addition to her skill, knowledge & teaching ability, her teaching style is very focused. She shows understanding and can explain things in multiple ways until you comprehend it or reach the intended goal. As someone who has played the flute for many years, I would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to learn to play -young or adult- or improve their playing if already experienced." Read more

Within ONE lesson, Howard could pinpoint EXACTLY what my trouble areas are, and not only is he able to articulate a very clear plan for dealing with those, but he has also helped me with the burdening amount of pain that plagues my joints and muscles when I play something technically demanding! Furthermore, he is very focused, understanding, knowledgeable and gentle! After having many verbally.... difficult teachers whose teaching involved quite a bit of negative reinforcement, it is an absolute pleasure and an eye opening experience to have a patient, understanding teacher. Some people may learn quite well in that fashion, and there was a period of time when I actually believed, or rather was brainwashed into thinking that being verbally berated would serve as motivation. But now I see quite clearly that is not the case: I learn a lot better and I am more motivated to practice when I find it a pleasure to go to my piano lessons! Thank you, Howard for all your dedication, patience and knowledge!

There aren’t enough stars to give Debbie the review she deserves! Her vast experience and enthusiasm for her craft are invaluable. Debbie is professional and compassionate and truly cares about my daughter and her journey into the world of acting. Lessons with Debbie have resulted in more confidence and a solid foundation to continue building upon.

Jennifer was an amazing teacher. She introduced me to concepts that had been overlooked by previous teachers and directors and helped me discover that there is more to music than playing the right notes.

I was ask to start playing bass guitar in a group that had a hard time keeping bass players. Lloyd has been wonderful helping me bridge the gap from playing guitar & mandolin to bass. He is insightful when crossing multi-instruments. He has been amazingly helpful as I learn my new bass skills.
