We are excited to expand our repertoire of musical instrument lessons by offering drum lessons!  Lessons will be Monday evenings.  Private lessons are $25 per half hour session.  There is a possibility for group lessons if we have enough interest for beginners.  Limited Spots available

 Lessons will be taught by Alex Cornett, a worship/rock drummer with 25 years of experience. He has toured with several worship bands across the country and overseas, and has played at dozens of churches, both as a fill in and an every week musician. With a degree in audio engineering and a history of studio work, Alex has a unique collection of musical knowledge and technical ability. He is offering beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes.
