Lousie Whyte-Drum Lessons

Steve is not only a fantastic experienced professional drummer-he is also an amazing drum teacher! He is extremely knowledgable about all things drumming. Steve has been teaching my 10 yr old daughter for 5 years and in this time she has made amazing progress. He is patient, experienced and teaches with great humour-always knowing how to get the best out of his students. Steve is one of a kind-I would highly highly recommend him as a drum teacher, a drummer and a throughly nice guy! Whether you're a beginner child/adult, or someone looking to make progress in your drumming-Steve is the teacher for you! Steve Go wrote on Tue, 11 Jun 2019

    Minh T-Drum Lessons

    I have been a student of Steve for 1.5 years now. I love his method and expertise. His ears are well trained and spot on so he can detect a minut mistake to correct you. He comes prepared to every lesson with new materials tailored to my level but with with enough of a challenge to push me to the next level. He also comes to the house which makes it much easier for me playing on my own set. He is always punctual and very professional. I would definitely recommend Steve for anyone wanting to learn the drums. Steve Go wrote on Tue, 11 Jun 2019

      Jennifer M-Drum Lessons

      Mr. Steve is a professional musician as well as a gifted teacher. He connects immediately with kids of all ages and adults as well. He has been teaching my son snare and drum set since he was in sixth grade. His instructional techniques focus on the basic rudiments but mix in fun aspects and plenty of time for improvisation too. The lessons have paid off and accelerated my son's music reading and percussion abilities. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone who is looking to either get into drumming or further the skills they already possess. Steve Go wrote on Tue, 11 Jun 2019

        Phil T-Drum Lessons
