My 9-year-old has been taking lessons with Eric Wagner, and I couldnt be happier with the experience! Eric is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and great at keeping my son engaged and excited about drumming. He tailors each lesson to my childs skill level, making it fun while also building a strong foundation in technique and rhythm.Erics passion for music really shines through, and his teaching style is both encouraging and motivating. My son looks forward to every lesson and has made amazing progress in a short amount of time. If youre looking for a drum instructor who is great with kids and truly cares about their growth, I highly recommend Eric Wagners Drum Studio!

It was amazing, we were able to figure out some of my issues with drumming. As it turns out I’m left handed and I never would’ve known that unless he helped me and I’m so grateful. I had a great time, it was very informative and I can’t wait to continue working with him.

My son is 8 and started taking drumlessons with Eric 3 months ago after he got a drum set for Christmas from Santa. I saw his studio highly recommended on a facebook page. I can't express how happy we are that we tried his studio. My son looks forward to his lesson all week. When it is over he says that felt like it was only 5 minutes. Eric is amazing with my son! He makes him laugh and really enriches his love for the drums! Eric is so patient and teaches in a way that makes learning so fun! My husband and I listen to him during his lesson and it is the highlight of our week! We also can't wait for his lesson. Eric is a wonderful drum teacher and person! We highly recommend him to anyone looking to take drum classes!

Eric Wagner Drum Studio is fantastic! Erics patience and kindness, paired with his fun teaching style, have made introductory drumlessons a total blast for my 8-year-old, who had never played an instrument before. Every session, he creates a welcoming and engaging environment that makes learning drums exciting and accessible (especially for my lefty). Highly recommend for anyone looking to start or add to their musical journey!

My daughter has taken lessons from Eric for many years. My daughter really enjoys to go his studio and play drum. She also plays percussion in school band and a couple of teachers recommended Eric for private lesson to my daughter. But she was already in!! My family is happy to find him as my daughter's drum instructor.
