About

Hello future students! My name is Michaela and I'm a drum teacher. My specialty is jazz drumming (swing, latin, funk, rock). I teach beginner and intermediate students. Together we will learn how to read music, keep a consistent beat, and have fun! I have 10+ years of training and 3+ years experience in teaching drums. I teach anyone age 10 and up. You would come to my home in Lehi and learn on my acoustic set with me. I currently play for City Jazz Big Band in Midvale Utah.

    Chaela does a wonderful job not only teaching the technical parts of drumming but helping her students find the love of drumming. She does this by incorporating learning songs that they enjoy as well. This instills a lifelong love for playing the drums.

    My daughter has loved taking drum lessons from Chaela! From the very first lesson she felt super comfortable with her and says she makes lessons very fun. My daughter has improved a lot and we are so grateful for Chaelas expertise and encouragement.

    She is a talented player in her own right and also a talented teacher. She does her utmost to help her students connect to what they are learning in a positive way, encouraging and supporting them through their playing. My son has always come away from lessons feeling excited to play drums and also built up and ready to take on her music and new challenges. She is eager to see her students succeed and it shows in how she interacts with them. Couldnt be happier!

    Michaela has been a member of Cityjazz Big Band for over a year and she is proven to be an invaluable musician, versed in many rhythms and styles, including Latin, Rock, Swing and many others. She is dependable and consistent, possesses strong timekeeping, precise stick control, and ability to execute complex rhythms. She provides creative fills, has an incredible ability to support the melody and harmony, and overall contribution to the bands sound. I am positive that she will make an incredible impact on her students musical journey. Her passion for music is contagious, and her ability to share that passion with students is truly remarkable.

    Michaela is an excellent teacher and was professionally trained. She knows so many different types of drum patterns and is always willing to help. I also appreciate that she is still drumming. Shes part of a jazz band and their concerts are sweet. Highly recommend if you want to be the best drummer you can be!

    My kids love Michaela’s easy-going and fun personality. A new instrument is daunting but she has made it a really fun experience for them. And she really knows her stuff! I’m impressed with what they’ve learned in just a few months!
