Introduction: Hi! My name is Johnny and I’ve been teaching music lessons for 10 years now. I’m a multi-instrumentalist who specializes in drums, guitar, keys, and vocals. I’ve also taught lessons for bass and ukulele as well. I come from a musical family and have been around music all my life. Music is truly a passion for me and I enjoy sharing my knowledge and guiding students on their own musical journey. I have 9 years of teaching experience through School of Rock Charlotte and over 15 years as a gigging musician, playing with some of Charlotte’s greatest legends. I’m available to teach all styles of music for drums, guitar, and keys, as well as music theory and songwriting. I’m also available for freelance drumming and solo acoustic performance. Currently I’m only doing remote lessons. Feel free to message me for information on pricing and details. I’d love to work with you!

Mr. Wicker provides excellent lessons, with knowledgeable insight on Zoom and how to utilize it’s resources to have the best experience online. Mr. Wicker’s knowledge of learning tools and learning pathways for individual students will have you learning new things in no time. Would recommend even advanced musicians to learn about his resources to better themselves.

It has been a pleasure learning from Johnny on how to drum, since the beginning he gave me great advice on looking for a drum set and allowed me to receive a trial class before starting the actual class which I think is very important. He went over the structure, expectations, and reviewed the material with me so I could get an idea of what I was going to get out of it. I am very satisfied with taking lessons with him, he has been very flexible in rescheduling when things come up and always makes sure I am comfortable in moving onto new material. I enjoy talking about my music journey with him and find him very inspirational, I would definitely recommend his classes!

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.
