Mr. Pruyn takes what makes percussion exciting and truly breaks down the technical aspects and makes you develop a true passion and appreciation for all things percussion. Andy has taught at both Middle School and Highschool levels and knows how to approach all levels of knowledge on reading music. I highly recommend Andy Pruyn’s Percussion Studio.

Within ONE lesson, Howard could pinpoint EXACTLY what my trouble areas are, and not only is he able to articulate a very clear plan for dealing with those, but he has also helped me with the burdening amount of pain that plagues my joints and muscles when I play something technically demanding! Furthermore, he is very focused, understanding, knowledgeable and gentle! After having many verbally.... difficult teachers whose teaching involved quite a bit of negative reinforcement, it is an absolute pleasure and an eye opening experience to have a patient, understanding teacher. Some people may learn quite well in that fashion, and there was a period of time when I actually believed, or rather was brainwashed into thinking that being verbally berated would serve as motivation. But now I see quite clearly that is not the case: I learn a lot better and I am more motivated to practice when I find it a pleasure to go to my piano lessons! Thank you, Howard for all your dedication, patience and knowledge!

Al Ynigues was very welcoming and friendly, and my first drum lesson went as well as could be expected for an extremely rhythm challenged student. Mr. Ynigues lesson plan was well organized and presented.

My name is James. I am a 16-year-old high school student currently attending Triumph High School in Cheyenne, Wyoming. I started a rock band with my friends and I chose to play the keyboard. I wanted to get really good at the keyboard, so I searched for a place that could teach me to be a great keyboardist in the rock genre of music. After looking in the Wyoming area, I found the Elite Music Academy of the Arts. This place is absolutely amazing! They tailor the classes towards exactly what you want to learn! The instructors do everything possible to guide you toward your ultimate musical goals and dreams, and they actually make your musical dreams and goals happen! They are always their for you with incredible customer service! They let you know about anything you need to know and make sure all your questions are answered! They help you get anywhere you want to be! It doesn't matter what age, level, or genre of music you want to learn, they teach every single aspect of music, technique, theory, and anything else you need to know! It's a full curricular all the way around, which is completely based around the student and their goals! They give you a flat rate price that never changes! You can have the same instructor and schedule for as long as you want! The amount of options they offer is overwhelming, the ultra high quality lessons are fantastic, the expert instructors are an abundance of knowledge, experience, and expertise, and the quick and amazing results that they produce is just astounding! I can't say enough about them! After just a short time of having lessons with them, I became an awesome keyboardist and a an absolute professional in the rock genre of music! I can't thank them enough and I look forward to my lessons every week! They make everything so fun and exciting! It's truly a spectacular experience! You have to give them a try and experience it for yourself! Don't miss out!
