About
Learn to play the drums from an experienced professional. I have a degree in Jazz performance and over 25 years of teaching experience. I teach students of all ages and levels. Students can take lessons at my studio, online, or I can travel to there residents.

I’ve been getting drum lessons from Colby Wahl for almost a year and it has been great. I have had so much fun learning how to read and play music. I have learned so much in the past year, I have learned to play songs I love and so much more. Colby Wahl music has taught me so much and is by far the best drum and music teacher. I would give Colby Wahl music 5 stars, and anyone who gets lessons from Colby Wahl will not be disappointed.
