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

My daughter takes lessons from Mark and I am so happy with how quickly she started to play music...not just beat on the drums. It is obvious he is an incredibly talented musician. I have taken, observed and given music lessons so it was easy to recognize how good of a Teacher he is, too. Most of all he is an approachable, genuine guy without an ego. My impression is he cares about his students. I confidently recommend Mark.

Mark is an amazing drum teacher! My 10yo son is the type of kid that gets frustrated easily, but Mark has a way of getting him to laugh off his mistakes and learn from them. Mark delivers his instruction in a fun and manageable way, consistently checks to make sure my son understands, and encourages him to reflect on his successes and challenges. My son really looks forward to his lesson each week and has made great progress in a short amount of time!

Mark's lessons are comprehensive, fun, and tailored to exactly your level. As a complete beginner, Mark made drumming feel approachable. The sessions usually blend basic exercises with songs as well. He then follows up after each session with easy to follow exercises for practice. I would recommend Mark to anyone, at any level of drumming!
