I picked Steve to give lessons to my 14-year-old daughter after having a quick chat with him. He informed me that he instructs differently depending on what the student wants to achieve which I liked since it shows a student focus approach. Since my daughter has never played before, I was nervous about picking someone off of the internet but it has been a very good experience. I do not have any music ability so I can only review Steve as a parent of a student. Steve has a great demeanor which is perfect for working with kids. He is very encouraging and appears to be very knowledgeable. He uses his experience and knowledge of bands and drummers as well as song bites as examples which easily keeps my daughter’s attention. I have learned a lot just by listening in. By the second class, he had my daughter playing along with a Beetles song while explaining how to keep tempo and to make the different drumming sounds which she really enjoyed. Steve is also very good at writing down homework assignments that she understands and can easily follow which I like. I have not yet invested in a drum set at home until my daughter shows a long-term commitment and this is not just another fad. Steve has her practicing nightly using the pillows which is working out so far. However, given how well this is going, I can see a drum set in the not too distant future. This is in no small part due to Steve and his efforts.

I've had a few lessons with Steve, and so far so great. He is patient, he hones right in on what I want to learn, and he has simple, straightforward exercises and advice that is exactly on target for what I want to learn to do. He is also sincere and modest. He also makes me feel good about what I can already do. He's also a great resource and a great guy to talk music and drumming with. I always come away from my lessons with him energized, positive, and feeling good about myself and my progress.

My grandmother loves having Steve at her assisted living facility--she looks forward to the songs, the drums, the smiles and more. We even hired him for her 90th birthday party. He was so good with the kids and adults of all ages, alike. Such a great concept--engaging, FUN, and these workshops noticeably lifted her spirits. 6 stars if I could!
