Meet the 7DrumCity 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. In addition, it's also important to realize that YOU are your own best teacher...  We look forward to meeting you and helping you get awesome at your instrument!
