Testimonials

“Jordy is such a great teacher. He lets you go at the pace you need and he always helps you when you’re struggling. I recommend having Jordy as your teacher because he is so nice and helpful.”

Weldon, Age 10

Jordy is an amazing teacher. He worked with my son, who has physical disabilities, and found a way to make drums work for him. It was clear how much thought and passion Jordy put into accessibility and truly made a difference in my son’s life. My son is excited for every lesson and Jordy always finds a way to keep him engaged and interested.

Brad, Dad of student

“WHEN I HAD STARTED DOING DRUMS, MY OLD TEACHER WASNT WORKING MUCH WITH ME. DIDNT LET ME HAVE ANY SORT OF CREATIVITY, AND OVERALL WAS NOT THE EASIEST TO TALK TO. EVENTUALLY WHEN I GOT SWITCHED TO JORDANS LESSONS, EVERYTHING CHANGED. I FOUND MYSELF WANTING TO GO TO LESSONS MORE, AND I WAS ACTUALLY ENJOYING THE TIME I WAS SPENDING LEARNING. I FELT THAT I WAS RETAINING MORE THAN I WAS PREVIOUSLY, AND I WAS SERIOUSLY THINKING THAT MAYBE I COULD ACTUALLY HAVE A CHANCE AT BEING IN A BAND. JORDAN ALWAYS HELPED PUSH ME, WHILE ALSO LETTING ME KNOW THAT WE COULD STILL TAKE THINGS SLOW. HE HELPED SHOW ME TECHNIQUES, HELPED ME LEARN NEW SONGS, AND DURING THESE LESSONS I FIND THAT HE ALSO HELPED ME WITH MY SOCIAL ANXIETY. HE ALWAYS MADE ME COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO TALK, AND WE HAD GOOD TIMES. THANKS TO HIM, I KNOW NOW MORE THAN I WOULD’VE EVER IMAGINED. HE WAS A GREAT TEACHER, AND WILL ALWAYS BE.”

Ariana, Age 14
