Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have nine years of experience teaching percussion in the Kansas City area. In 2013, I graduated from the UMKC Conservatory with a Bachelor's Degree in Percussion Performance. I teach drumline and percussion ensemble at Shawnee Mission South high school, and am the Assistant Director of the Kansas City Youth Percussion Ensemble. In addition to teaching, I play about 80 shows per year with the Mikey Needleman Band (mnband.com) and do extensive freelance work throughout the Kansas City Area. Each student has their own individual lesson plan that is catered to their personal needs and goals. I offer a total percussion curriculum (snare drum, mallets, drum set, and timpani). Rather than having to study with multiple teachers, students can receive a well-rounded education at my studio. I have prepared students for concert band, marching band, jazz band, district/all state band auditions, district/state solo & ensemble competitions, and much more. I love seeing my students gain confidence in themselves by getting better at drums.

Evan has been very prompt to answer questions and had my son come to meet him before we signed up for lessons. My son had the chance to watch him play, interview him and make sure they would fit well together. My son is looking forward to getting Evans professional lessons and growing as a drummer!

Evan is not only a very good musician but he is able to teach my son percussion. Being a teacher is a complicated job and Evan makes it look easy. He is patient and really gets results. My student loves working with him. Evan is not afraid to challenge him and make him work for results. Evan is great with my son.
