"Two years ago, my son Dylan had only a vague interest in music but agreed to try a few drum lessons with Jeremy. Thanks to Jeremyʼs patient and supportive instruction, Dylan has advanced to the point where he has enjoyed playing two different garage band concerts. I highly recommend Jeremy; he is an expert drummer who connects really well with kids."
