N.C. 1. says, "Paul Dillon is my drum teacher. He is positive smart and friendly and I enjoy seeing him every Sunday for my drum lesson. It is always fun to go to drum lessons. My favorite part is playing new songs. Paul knows the right way to play a song. When I have trouble playing a beat, Paul shows me an easy way to do it. It really helps to have Paul encourage me. Paul as my drum teacher makes me feel confident that I too will be able to play like him." Read more

Minka V. says, "Brian goes above and beyond with his guidance. As an adult drum learner, I was hesitant to find a teacher that would take my other musical background into account while still being patient with a new instrument. Brian speaks my language and always has the right combination of encouragement and suggestions for improvements. Working in a zoom environment also has challenges and Brian is willing to spend the time to sort out how to have the best remote experience possible. He puts together very helpful videos playing songs I've requested with comments and insights into the rhythms. Highly recommend." Read more

Sara P. says, "My ten year old son has been taking guitar lessons from Greg for a few years now and we couldn’t be happier with the results. In just a few lessons Max was able to play The intro to his favorite AC/DC song. Since then he has learned so much and he looks forward to his lesson with Greg every week. I really love Greg’s teaching style because he really listens to my son and gives him the freedom to express himself creatively all the while covering all the fundamental building blocks of learning to play guitar. Great teacher! We love him!" Read more

Our daughter has loved taking lessons with Paul. She is not new to playing an instrument but had no prior exposure to the drums (or to rock music) and Paul quickly found a way to get her hooked on both! Paul has a great laid-back manner of instruction yet always manages to accomplish a lot at each lesson. Our daughter always leaves with a smile on her face and more skills in her pocket.

I am 10 years old and I think Mr. Brian is and encouraging person who is not impatient if you make a mistake. He tells me to feel comfortable with saying that he may be glitchy or if he does not make sense. He sends worksheets that makes practicing very fun. He is super nice and extremely open and I really like my lessons with him.

I am a 74 year old drummer who took lessons in high school and never played for 50 years until 3 years ago. Even though it instantly came back to me I felt that something was missing. When I contacted Tony on the first lesson he asked me what I would like to accomplish if he were to teach me. I asked him to start with the basics as though I had never played before. He did, he not only had me doing basic rudiments he coached me on bringing my confidence level up, taught me how to tune my drums properly, and to this date im playing with much more confidence and my playing ability has greatly improved because of Tony's ability to teach and recognize my playing problems. Even though I now play in a band I will be staying with tony for drum lessons and I highly recommend him to anyone who is either a beginner or accomplished drummer. He's great and his personalty and demeanor is that of a professional.

Ok so listen, I’m a 34 year old that woke up one day and decided to take piano lessons. I feel like this paints the picture. It’s scientifically proven that it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks. But taking lessons with Greg has been the opposite of that. He’s patient. He’s funny. His teaching style isn’t too stuffy so he makes you feel relaxed. He’s definitely taught this old dog new tricks. I would definitely recommend him to anyone of any age to take lessons with him.
