Absolutely a huge success tonight. Thank you so much for talking with her encouraging her and inviting her to the rock band. Everyone had such a good time. At the end another band member told her she can’t wait to see her next week this was a huge boost of confidence.  We actually haven’t seen her this happy and interested in anything in many years.  

Over the last 6 years we had music lessons at other places and she kept getting frustrated and then quitting.  We are so happy to find you guys! 

John’s drumming classes are not only well taught, personal, but so much fun that I never think of them as lessons. I have felt such a wonderful sense of achievement after each and every class he has taught. From the first lesson of learning the history and what each and every piece of the kit is and does, John has taught me a way to approach learning new things differently. He has not only implemented the mechanics or physics of drumming, but the “feeling” of drumming. I have left every lesson, looking forward to the next one. Proper technique and most importantly, posture, has been stressed by John, which has led to a much more enjoyable experience on the drum kit for me. I highly recommend his class to both young and old codgers, such as myself.

Daniel is a wonderful highly skilled instructor. His exercises, patience and demeanor, make it easy for students at any level learn new skills and bring their playing to the next level. It has been an absolute pleasure working with him.

I started going to Backbeat Music Academy for drum lessons with John. He is a great instructor, highly skilled, very knowledgeable. I take 60-minute lessons once a week, in a very relaxed environment. My instructor answers all my questions, we jam together or play along to music, and plan out a practice plan for the week. He has even been willing to help me with other instruments, answering all my questions about guitar, piano, music theory, etc. I’ll continue taking music lessons at Backbeat for a long time.
