“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!”

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’ve been taking lessons with Phil since I was in the 8th grade. He is an absolutely amazing teacher. He adapts his curriculum to every student he teaches, and knows how to explain things in terms you will understand. Phil brings a very relaxed environment to every lesson which helps the learning process exponentially, its just a lot harder to learn when you have a “Whiplash” type instructor breathing down your neck! Phil is the reason I earned a scholarship for drumset at Santa Fe University. If you’re looking for a school that will actually improve your playing and make you a professional musician, you’ve found it.”

“Phil is an excellent drum instructor! He taught me everything I know from the very basics all the way up to playing songs. His way of teaching is unlike anyone i’ve ever met, he adapts his methods to meet the students specific needs and makes the whole learning part so much fun. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn how to play the drums!!”
