Parent Comments:

"My 13 year old son started taking drum lessons when he was 10. While he had a good teacher, his interest did not seem to grow as time went on. In fact, he had given up the drums for over a year. Then, he took a drum workshop for a week & met Matt. He has been taking lessons with him ever since. In the past year and a half, not only has Zach developed a love & passion for drumming, he has found an amazing coach & friend in Matt. Matt has the ability to really connect with kids (and adults). He has the ability to understand where my son comes from musically and beyond." -Meryl Russo- Parent

"Matt Murphy is not only an excellent drum instructor, he is also an excellent role model. He encourages our son to not only give 100% during his drum lessons, but also in school and in life. His method of teaching has far exceeded our expectations. Matt’s ability to challenge our son in an exciting and fun way has enabled our son to excel in drumming. Therefore, our son doesn’t mind getting up early on the weekends, no easy task for a teenager, and playing drums for/with Matt. We have such confidence in Matt’s ability as a musician and instructor; we drive over 60miles round-trip every week, for his lessons! There is no question as to who we recommend for drum instruction. My son even encourages his friends and classmates to take classes from Matt…straight from the mouth of babes! Our family feels that Matt has been a blessing and we couldn’t imagine using anyone else for drum instruction." Christine Ballard- Parent
