If we could give Johnny more than 5 stars, we would! He has been such an amazing and informative teacher. His love and appreciation for music makes learning from him so special. Me and my best friend are taking lessons back to back and he has been so accommodating with our schedules. We appreciate everything he does to make learning so easy and fun at the same time. In under two months we’ve learned way beyond our own expectations and it’s all thanks to Johnny. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn drums no matter their age!

Jonny is a dedicated, professional and fun to learn from. My son is taking online lessons from him, even being online it’s easy to understand and he pays attention to the details. After Johnny’s classes he has become more invested to the drums, not to mention the massive improvement with drums

I had no prior guitar knowledge so Johnny quickly educated me and we jumped right in learning a melody of my choice. He is patient and encouraging. I appreciate the lesson recap and his suggestions on areas to practice to keep progressing. Thanks Johnny.

Johnny is an excellent instructor. I appreciate his patience with beginner questions, and he is fantastic about suggesting ways to improve beyond a beginner level. He does a great job of meeting the student where they are to best serve their needs. Such a pleasant demeanor in the lesson, too! Would absolutely recommend.

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  I offer 45 minute lessons for ($50) and 30 minute lessons for ($40). Most of my students have 1 lesson a week and pay monthly. I also offer a 20% discount on their first month.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  When working with a new student I like to start with few questions to learn a little bit about their musical history and what inspires them. I usually ask them how long have they’ve been playing, if they have had ever lessons before, and what kind of music or artists they like. I also like to have students play something for me so I can see their style and where their skill level is. These things help me provide a learning path for the student.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I attended Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, NC for an associates degree in music. There I studied piano, music theory, and also achieved an education in Jazz performance. Around the same time I studied privately with one of Charlotte’s greatest drummers for many years. I’ve also gained a lot of experience through teaching, which I’ve been doing for 10 years now. Ultimately, all of these things contribute to my ability to teach multiple instruments and various skill levels.
