Sara B. says, "She is an accomplished working musician and an excellent motivator. Lessons are not just about technique, which she knows plenty about, but also communicating the feeling behind the music. She is comfortable teaching young beginners, experienced players, and even grandmothers (like me) who just want to try something new. That was 7 years ago, and she hasn't given up on me yet! She is also a composer, and welcomes helping others get their work "out there." I highly recommend her." Read more

Reviews for Manassas drum lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Manassas area.
Kelly W.
Brittany is absolutely the best music teacher any parent could ask for when looking for someone for lessons. My son has been with her for seven years now, and she's helped guide him musically, creatively, and I credit her with part of why he's willing to step out of his comfort zone and try new things. Unlike some teachers, she takes a very personalized approach to help students set and meet goals. She's also built a strong community for her students, and constantly thinks outside of the box to find ways to offer them new opportunities.
