Volume Concerns - Instrument Required


If you're concerned about percussion volume at home, please feel free to call me so we can discuss practical ways to reduce noise while still allowing for effective practice.  It's also important to invest in instruments that are well made, affordable, and appropriate for the student's needs.  I'm happy to help you choose quality instruments that fit your budget.  Please call or email anytime for advice and recommendations.

​My son has worked with Kurt for about 5 years. He looks forward to his lessons every week and has made huge progress with Kurt. In addition, he has learned to appreciate a wide variety of musical styles. Kurt has gone above and beyond for my son multiple times including letting him use his studio to record audition tapes and providing the editing for the tapes. Kurt has a gentle way of engaging his students that inspires them to work at their highest level. We are so grateful to have had him recommended to us.

My daughter has really connected with Kurt and her performance has improved because of it. He’s terrific at getting the most out of her ability and has a fun way of sneaking in needed rudiments while playing music she loves. She’s been taking lessons with him over 3 years and looks forward to her lessons every time. We both highly recommend him!

Kurt is a wonderful teacher.  My son looks forward to his lessons each week. Kurt has imparted a love for percussion and really accelerated my son’s skills development.   I enjoyed seeing Kurt and my son together each week when lessons were in person.  And since quarantine, the transition to remote instruction has worked out great.  We highly recommend Kurt!

Kurt is a fantastic drum teacher! He was recommended to us by the band teacher at Kingsley Elementary. He’s been teaching my 12 year old son for two years and my son has progressed so much. Kurt is very kind and my son really enjoys the lessons. Highly recommend.
