Being a successful drummer is about having good time and good relationships. Shannon excels at both. He explains what tools you need to sound professional, while modeling what a “good hang” is in the music scene. Shannon finds the perfect balance of explanation and demonstration. He targets the smaller areas of musicality that can elevate a drummer from a 6 to a 10. Broadway drummers need to play in multiple genres. I have sat with Shannon and experienced his effortless shifts from rock to swing to pop. As a teacher, he perfectly communicates the idiosyncrasies of each style.

Charlie helped me to develop as a drummer and overcome many obstacles I was experiencing. My hand technique is on a whole new level after studying with him!

Jimi is a great guy. Has me laughing and learning at the same time. I must say I've only been going for about a month and so far he's taught me more than I've ever expected. I played some guitar as a teen and after dropping off for 40-50 years he has me all excited about learning again. I've only been going for about a month but I plan on continuing forever. Give me a year or so and Ill update the review but right now I have to practice. LOL

If you're interested in it, he's very good with theory, which will help you become a musician, not just learn chords, etc. by rote. I think this really sets him apart. He is also very patient.

She is great with kids. My 6yo had only 2 lessons with her but they already started reading/understanding music notes for beginners, which is amazing.

He's a great teacher: encouraging, but also knows when and how to critique and not discourage a beginner. Makes sure it is challenging, but not overwhelming. Encyclopedic knowledge of jazz and music theory. Definitely recommend!

Katie really helped me expand my range and open up my voice to its full power. I loved that she was so versatile in style and we worked technique and acting in musical theatre, as well as jazz, pop, and classical operetta. I felt very comfortable with her and loved our Zoom lessons.

I took lessons from Ben for about a year and he's a really nice guy. He taught me the strategies for walking and soloing and how to find my musical voice. He had his own agenda prepared for me but also asked me often if I had any other songs that I wanted to learn or analyze. His criticism was constructive and he's good at not making me feel too bad about screwing up. Peace n love
