When my son Owen met Zach he was a kid who could best be described as a rudimentary drummer. In less than three weeks the growth that Owen showed was not short of astonishing. He was playing songs, became part of a band and his confidence soared. Over the next few years Owen has shown marked improvement. This is a direct result of Zach's teaching. He knows how to best reach your child with customized lessons and individualized instruction plans. He is encouraging, friendly, accessible, and warm. He will make your child a better musician and raise their self-esteem and confidence at the same time. I can only give him my highest recommendation.
