Drum and Piano Lessons With Colin Hinton

For anyone who is interested in exploring any and all avenues of drumming, he is more than willing to teach you all he knows!

He’s extremely observant and thoughtful with feedback and if I ever find myself wrestling with something specific, he knows exactly how to help and what exercises I can do to improve.

First of all, Colin is a very talented musician who lives and breathes music and you can feel his love for music during the sessions, which helps because learning to play an instrument as an adult is challenging and you do need every bit of enthusiasm and encouragement.

He has such a gentle demeanor about him that pointers and corrections motivate me to do better and practice more, as opposed to making me shy away from the instrument.

He's flexible with lessons--some weeks my son wants to focus on piano, others just drums--and willing to listen to my son's suggestions for songs to learn.

Not only does he know how to get me to focus on what I've been struggling with, but he tailors every aspect of a lesson to my level and needs.

He is very passionate about what he does - you can ask him anything about music and he always provides a thoughtful answer and can tie it back to the basic skills we are going over in the lesson.

Colin is clearly passionate about teaching and is happy to share his extensive knowledge and tailor lessons to my specific interests and goals.

I started taking drum lessons last year with Colin after many years of wishing I could play.

Not only does he have a firm grasp on the world of drum education (having gone to school Jazz/Musical Performance and studying with some of the country's top drummers), he also understands the the complexities of being a working drummer.
