Why Our Students & Parents Love Us

I’ve seen my son’s drumming skills blossom over the past couple of years at Beat Music Studios. The instructors are fantastic at nurturing his passion for music while honing his technique. It’s been a joy to witness his growth and enjoyment in every lesson. Highly recommend Beat Music Studios for anyone looking to embark on a musical journey!

Really nice set up at The Beat Studios. I’ve taken lessons from Jonathon and everything has been handled really well. I’m an experienced drummer that was looking for more instruction on snare drum, sticking and orchestral playing. I also wanted to apply these techniques back to the drum kit. Jonathon has really helped me progress and I plan on more lessons in the future. I highly recommend Jonathon and The Beat!
