Learn to play the drums from the Richmond area's leader in private instruction!

I am 49 and started with zero experience and couldn’t read music. Within a few months not only had I learned important fundamentals, Mark helped me find ways to play along with songs way above my skill level. Mark is exceptionally patient, encouraging and of course knows his stuff. His studio is setup perfectly for him to demonstrate and then observe my performance. Mark is open to different learning styles and answers my never ending questions about technique and equipment. I definitely recommend Mark!

Mark is such a wonderful teacher who is easy to communicate with & learn from. Whenever I’m not quite understanding something, he’ll adapt his approach so I can really get it. He’s encouraging, but always makes sure I’m pushed just outside my comfort zone to continue growing. He makes sure I have time to express any concerns or questions and always gets back to me really quickly. He’s fun to learn from & I love that he has his own studio space that isn’t so commercialized like it would be in a music store. Mark allows our lessons to adjust to my pace & I always leave feeling accomplished, like I’m really pursuing something great, and makes me want to get back behind the set again.

Drum lessons with Mark has been great!! He is able to break things down and make them simple so you have a clear understanding. He's great at keeping you motivated and I always leave the lesson feeling uplifted. I'm an adult and it's nice that I get to learn what I want to learn - not just learning out a book. I highly recommend him!!!
