Mastering the 12-bar blues progression and blues scales
Learning unique techniques like string bending, slides, and vibrato

Adults of all ages can learn to play blues guitar with the right instruction and regular practice.

I began drumming lessons in 2010 with TDS when I was age 9, and continued them for five, six more years. In this time, I learned the rudiments all drummers — professionals and hobbyists — know while picking apart the different rhythms and beats of popular music in the time (and then practicing them ourselves). My fondest memory is Kris pushing me to play Rope by Foo Fighters for the annual recital. I was nervous that it was too difficult a song for me (this is well into my time with TDS), but Kris’s confidence in me as a growing drummer paved the way for a performance of which I continue to be proud. I did the song with months of preparation; sheet music, apps tracking beats (shout-out to Jammit, a godsend for new drummers), and simply listening to the groove itself, Kris and I worked hard for that performance. It’s been a pleasure watching TDS grow over the years. I’ve stopped my lessons about five years ago due to a growing workload, but my love and passion for the drums remains high. This is, unquestionably, thanks to the personable, kindhearted leader of TDS, Kris Russell. I’ve sent so many of my peers looking to get into the groove to Kris. He is a considerate individual with a heart of gold, and has a deep love and talent for the drums; when I say he’s good, I mean he’s *really* good. The Drummer’s Studio continues to grow and expand as it enters a new decade, adding new instruments and instructors to the party, and I am so happy and proud for/of Kris for building such a great business. I’ll never forget my time with TDS. Thanks for everything.

I started lessons with Bill to learn classical guitar after 5 years of self-taught electric and steel string acoustic playing. My playing has improved immensely since I started working with him. Not only has he introduced me to classical guitar but he has taught me how to effectively practice to constantly improve. Bill has a wealth of experience and knowledge to draw upon and I cannot say enough good things. A++
