Meet The 7DrumCity® Teaching Team

All of our teachers are active in the DC music scene, with formal training and inspirational backstories. Part of what makes learning fun is being inspired - especially by your teacher! It's obvious to me that the personality of a teacher and the vibe of the learning environment greatly impact a student's learning experience.
