Yes, I say it all the time... "Get your kids to play drums, and watch how he/she improves in school, math especially." Watch their confidence rise with every performance, and new song learned".
Well, it is indeed another school year, and I have yet another happy parent texting me and writing testimonials on this online drum lessons website. REALLY its not about me, even though, as a teacher, those testimonials meal the world to me. But, its about the truth - I WANT "YOU" TO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE just read what Brandy & Tony Hester had to say yesterday, that made me so proud to be a drum teacher!
"We can't stop bragging about Doug's Drum lessons and programs. He is the coach of our five-year-old son, Gabriel. Gabriel started with Doug a little over a year ago, when he was just four years old. Right away we witnessed Doug's welcoming personality, enthusiasm, patience, and generosity. We are always well informed so we can assist Gabriel as needed throughout week, and he also encourages and empowers his students to practice on their own. I personally love to watch Gabriel practice with confidence even when he messes up. I can tell it feeds his spirit and he enjoys the process of learning. When we switched to online lessons during Covid19 I was a little concerned, but I was quickly put at ease. Doug has the equipment and skills to keep his students engaged and excited! Lastly, we just learned that Gabriel will be placed in the excelled programs for reading and math. I mention this because Doug informed us that reading music helps with math skills before Gabe started school, and I was amazed on how quickly Gabriel took to math as well as reading. So, weather you're looking for a program to help build your child's confidence, working on building skills in math, reading, online learning or they just love to play the drums like our son, we highly recommend Doug. We went into his program excited that Gabe was matched with such an awesome instructor, who was highly recommended by The Music Studios of Vinings music school. We didn't know just how much of a difference it would make in his education, but we quickly learned, and our friends and family have noticed too. So, we are so grateful, and we hope this statement of recommendation was of help to you."
Sincerely, Brandy and Tony Hester
