Common Questions About Our Music Lessons

Both! 

We are happy to do video lessons through Google Meet, Facetime or any other approved platform.

Absolutely, we are open to have a group class if interesting.

We provide all instruments needed for our students in the school. However, they will need to have their own instruments to continue practicing at home. It’s important to be consistent and practice every day. Perfect practice makes perfect!

We invite you for a free first lesson so you and your child can come to the school and experience the instruments so you can choose your favorite to start playing with.

We recommend a 30 minutes lesson per week for a child. And we recommend a 1 hour lesson per week for an adult.

Our drum instructor Phil Dalmolin, is an iconic drummer in San Antonio with over 40-years live performance experience including the Dixie Chicks, Johnny Bush, Barbara Fairchild, Texas Unlimited Band and many others. Phil has been teaching drums lessons for over 20-years including 7-years at the Bulverde Academy of Music in San Antonio.

“My 8 yr. old son is literally taking off with the drums under Mr. Phil’s instruction!! And my daughter is learning guitar at his school too. Great place to learn music no matter what age!” 

-Jeanne A.

Drum, Guitar, Piano and Voice lessons take place in a professional recording studio using two acoustic drum sets and choosing from hundreds of sound tracks minus drums. Lessons include all drums techniques and musical styles, playing side by side and taking moments to interject at the appropriate time. Soon enough, we will play together through entire tracks and develop flawless habits!

One major advantage of any type of music lessons is that it teaches our kids the basic principle of work = reward. You must make the time to develop skills that later others will admire. It builds great self esteem because they have achieved (through hard work) something that just anyone cannot do. Play an instrument and be cool! Even if they never choose to be a musician as a career, we’ve seen many make extra spending money entertaining people and being well paid and noticed for their efforts rather than a menial task job making minimum wage, while in high school or college. They can make at least $ as much as other teens and young adults on just the weekend, than working a part-time job at the hamburger joint or bookstore all week long! And be the coolest doing it!

I can’t recall how I came across Potter’s. Maybe it was word of mouth or the reviews? Maybe a marketing sign? Either way, I’m glad I did. Mr. Phil is hands down one of the best instructors I’ve ever had. He knows his drums, and I’d say a little thing or two about life as well. I was flying helicopters, and getting multiple certifications for helicopters on top of taking drum lessons and getting a master’s degree at the time. Mr. Phil never let me lose motivation. He always made sure I practiced, kept my head down, and did what I needed to do to succeed. Despite the fact I had so much going on, I kept my head down, learned a lot, he even showed me how to put my first drum set together. He’s a great instructor, very passionate about his craft, and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He gets every star in the book. Thanks again Mr. Phil.

Phil has been teaching my two girls beginner piano and my son drums every week for over 6 months now and I’m so thankful we found him! He pushes the kids to do better and better, and I’ve seen such a big improvement in their music skills. Thank you Phil!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My daughter really enjoys Mr. Phil as her drum teacher and “playing a beat” with him. She loves the drums, and we are so blessed to have found him to teach her. He is patient, thorough, and it is obvious that he truly loves what he does and is great at it. It’s awesome to get to witness my daughter improve weekly with Mr. Phil’s guidance. Thank you, Mr. Phil, for showing her what she is capable of and helping improve her confidence. 🥁🧍‍♂️🙏😊

My son started taking lessons w Phil when he was 12. He is now 27 and still plays. At age 25 he played the drums with a professional band at his own wedding and band members said “wow you are a really good drummer !”. Phil instilled a love for music in my son that is alive and kicking today.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Phil is a great drummer and teacher. I came to Phil after I restarted playing the drums again about a year ago. I have learned so much from him and continue to learn every time I’m there with him. I highly recommend visiting him no matter what your skill level is.
