I don’t know if I’ve met a better teacher than Amy – she’s truly gifted at it. She teaches to the entire group and doesn’t single any one out that’s not keeping up. She observes how everyone is doing and addresses the places she sees people struggling. She has this amazing positive energy and is obviously in love with drumming, people, and teaching and she makes learning FUN. I’ve had other great drumming teachers but even with them I would find myself frustrated and would cry – with Amy I’m able to laugh at myself and keep trying because she keeps it so light. Out of all the teachers I’ve come across, none of them are as adept at technique as she is. She’s also really great at presenting the rhythms in a way that’s easy to remember, uses helpful mnemonics, and stays away from the technical lingo that can confuse non-musically oriented folks like me. She went out of her way to tutor me when I needed extra help and her assistance made all the difference in the world. She brought me up to speed in one month on rhythms I had been trying to learn for six months prior with a different teacher. I really can’t say enough about Amy which is why I brag about her to everyone I know!
